Do you know how different the taste of oranges from the supermarket is and those oranges that you plucked from the tree with your own hands?
We often took pictures of such beautiful orange trees on the streets of Kemer. Sometimes we wanted to taste these delicious fruits, but... more often than not they were tasteless, too sour... And we bought tangerines and oranges in the supermarket. Prices here are affordable for these fruits. 1 kg costs about $0.7. But one day we tasted the taste of real oranges from a tree! This was an unexpected surprise during our walk in the forest. Suddenly we saw an orange grove by the road and plucked a bag for ourselves. It was heavenly delight!

After this incident, we no longer wanted to buy oranges in the supermarket, because they were very different in taste. Oranges from the tree are so juicy! And we dreamed again: when we rent a car, we will go to this forest again and collect these heavenly fruits! After all, no one collects them. Oranges fall and rot...
But life gave us a pleasant gift again. Our friend lives in the village of Kirish, which is 7 km from Kemer, in Turkey.
There is an orange grove near his house. And he invited us to pick as many of these sunny orange wonder fruits as we wanted!

A friend picked us up in his own car. At first we drove along the beautiful cottages, but then we turned right, and here we were in the orange paradise, which is next to the house.

Very friendly people live here. Their children loved us very much. Here was a little girl helping my Darinka pick fruit.

We were fascinated by these magnificent trees, with round crowns that were filled with abundant orange balls! It is such a beautiful sight against the background of the blue mountains of Kemer.

Here the girls are happy. We collected a full bag and, of course, a photo to remember!
And after our exciting walk through the fragrant orange garden, the owner's son showed us the greenhouse where bananas grow.

Those giant bunches of bananas look so exciting! There were many boxes there filled with bananas. The boy gave me some to taste, but they were green and tasteless. I wonder if green bananas can become ripe and tasty if they are picked and lying in a box?

Thank you for your visit and support 💕

I can't imagine the taste of squeezed orange, juice, which can be obtained from those oranges🍊🍊🍊

I rarely had the opportunity to stay in regions where oranges grow on trees. In my area, from fruits, I have apple, pear, apricot, peach, quince, plum... but not southern fruits - orange, lemon, tangerines, kiwi, bananas...

When I lived in Ukraine, I also only ate oranges from the supermarket. My home country has all the same fruits as yours. In my garden in Ukraine, I ate enough cherries, raspberries, apples and pears... I miss the taste of these fruits a little!

Strawberries are my favorite, when I pick them from my garden (my mother's garden, of course 😁 )

Oh, I also really like strawberries and wild strawberries in the wood!

How wonderful. And you can make some delicious juices too ;)

I'm surprised to see this post, I've asked you about this before.

Congratulations!

These fruits are extremely juicy! You can even squeeze the juice with your hands :)

I have also seen figs and bananas grown up near the roads. It is a big blessing of nature of Antalya :)

Where will you vist this summer in Türkiye? Check my last post, it might interest you ;)

Thanks for your recommendations. I'm just thinking: where should I spend my summer :)

Offcourse, you can these fruits can get from market but the real happiness and mind satisfaction is to pick from directly from the tree in a natural environment.

Yes, you are right. The most beautiful fruits from the tree!

The orange fruits pics look heavenly and no doubt the taste is also great like you said. That's because of how natural it is, a lot of artificial things are done to the store bought ones which spoils their taste. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day.

I noticed that too. The fruits in the supermarket do not have a good aroma and are often not so juicy anymore!

You’re right that the oranges from the tree are always juicy and tastier than the ones in the supermarket
The only thing is that not all the ones plucked from the tree are sweet
Some of them may be tasteless

We found a beautiful garden with very tasty fruits. Oranges have an unsurpassed sour-sweet taste.

When it's straight from nature, you just know that it'll be amazing. That's the kind of joy I get when I harvest fruit from my garden as well. What a sublime experience.

I am glad that you know what a pleasure it is to eat fruit from a tree!

Friend, those bushes look like tangerine trees! There is nothing better than eating fruit straight from the trees. No contaminants. In the area where I live, which is very arid, there are no orange or banana plants, but there are coconut, pineapple and mango plants. All sweet and pulpy. Greetings

These are oranges. I am happy to be in a country where there are other fruits than in my country. One day I will come to your country and taste pineapple and mango :)

Wow.. Lots of fruits. Did you guys get them for free? Hehe..

Yes We got it for free. We're doing a good job because these falling and rotting everywhere :)

I also love fruits, and it's look so yummy

Fruit - this is my main food every day!

while looking at the pictures, want to pick some hehe

I'm glad you liked it 😊

That's really one of my favorite fruits dear
