The COVID-19 pandemic has already stressed some sectors of the population after losing their jobs and for having no income for a couple of months now with this whole quarantine and lockdown situation.
I came up with this recipe, again out of whim, since the ingredients are what I currently have. This seems to be a perfect opportunity to make something beautiful out of these colorful fruits and greens.
You have to admit the bright colors of this fruit bowl with the sprinkle of black chia seems to represent what has been going on with the world. Not to be all spiritual about it, but we have to recognize that amid this pandemic, nature has finally given its time to heal after human-led activities that are detrimental to our natural ecosystem have been halted.
These fruits represent the vibrancy nature regained lately - brighter clouds, greener forest, and brighter streams and oceans. The black chia seems to represent the human population - this pandemic represents the black chia.
Enjoy this recipe! Stay safe and healthy!
