The Wow Moment
You bite into a papaya that was still on a tree in Guatemala 48 hours ago - the flesh is perfectly creamy, sweet, and vibrant orange instead of the sad, mealy, partially-rotted papaya you'd find at a supermarket that's been sitting in a warehouse for 2 weeks. You realize fresh tropical fruit actually tastes completely different than what you've been eating your whole life.
