In today's world, tropical fruits have become a common part of everyday meals. However, many people still hold misconceptions about them. For example, because durians, lychees, and coconuts are often considered "hot" in nature and easy to consume, some believe all tropical fruits are warming. This is not entirely true—there are actually many tropical fruits that are cooling or neutral.
When it comes to choosing the right tropical fruit for your body type, it's important to understand their properties. Hot fruits include coconut, lychee, durian, longan, bayberry, and papaya. On the other hand, cooling options like bananas, sugarcane, dragon fruit, grapefruit, mango, and mangosteen can help balance internal heat. Fruits such as olives, lemons, and plums are considered neutral—they don’t fall into either the hot or cold category.
If you tend to experience symptoms like constipation, mouth ulcers, dry mouth, sore throat, a red tongue, or a yellow coating on the tongue—common signs of internal heat—you should limit your intake of lychees and avoid drinking too much coconut milk. Conversely, if you often feel cold, have cold urine, cold hands and feet, a pale tongue, or a white coating on your tongue—indicating a cold constitution—you should be cautious with cooling fruits like dragon fruit or mangosteen, even if they seem tempting.
Additionally, certain groups should be more careful when consuming tropical fruits. Women, especially during menstruation or after childbirth, individuals with colds, the elderly, and young children may benefit from avoiding cold tropical fruits. It's also worth noting that most tropical fruits are sensitive to cold temperatures and shouldn't be stored in the refrigerator for long periods. Instead, keep them in a cool, dark place. If refrigeration is necessary, use a high-temperature vegetable and fruit container, and try not to keep them for more than two days. This helps maintain their quality and nutritional value.
