In the story, Abou el-Fawakeh sets out to explain how red fruits promote heart health and memory and how orange-colored fruits are good for the eye sight and the immune system. He teaches kids that yellow pigments reduce the risk of heart strokes and that green ones strengthen the bones and the teeth. Blue and purple-colored fruits can improve memory and promote the health of children when they grow up.

Abou el-Fawakeh loves equally clustered, lunar and circular-shaped fruits and eats them all with great appetite. Whether they grow in tropical or temperate climates, on a tree or on a plant, he craves fruits throughout all seasons and encourages kids to eat them unpeeled and unseeded when needed.

Yes. He has such a strong craving for fruits that he was named ‘Abou el-Fawakeh’.
