Edible Fruit Basket
By their very nature, all fruit baskets, especially the original ones,
qualify as edible fruit baskets. After all, when a fruit basket was filled
with nothing but fruit, by definition everything in them was edible and
therefore qualified as an edible fruit basket. But with today's more
competitive marketplace, fruit baskets have grown to include much more than
food items. In an attempt to differentiate them from fruit baskets that
contain non-food items, the term edible fruit baskets was born ? again
nobody knows exactly where, or when, or who first used it ? to signify a
fruit basket containing only items that could only be eaten. Nothing
drinkable; no wines, no organic juices were included, nor were any jams or
jellies or spreads. Essentially, edible fruit baskets don't contain anything
that should be left over after a short-lived, sumptuous feast of its
contents.
Some people get confused by the term "edible fruit basket." They think that
the basket itself is edible ? and in some cases they are correct. There are
types of edible fruit baskets where the basket is weaved out of soft edible
grasses or noodles and even coated, sometimes, with chocolate or other
spreads to make them more palatable. Granted, this type of basket is usually
only offered in certain countries of Southeast Asia and does not account for
the confusion here in America regarding the phrase, but it does lend some
mystery to the term.
In general, edible fruit baskets are built around food themes to make them
more attractive to the public. For example, certain edible fruit baskets
contain a selection of organic fruit, combined with small amounts of organic
nuts and candies. Others concentrate on foods from certain areas of the
world such as France, Italy or China. Whatever can be combined into one
edible fruit basket and be thought of as a special treat will be made
available to a public willing to try them.
The single most popular edible fruit basket today has to do with health.
Packed with perfect fresh organic fruit, granola, nuts, raisins, sugar-free
candy, trail mix and a bounty of other items all created from the
prospective of eating healthy foods, this edible fruit basket outsells all
other edible fruit baskets almost three-to-one.
