Listen "Thanh Truong, Fruit Nerd"
Episode Synopsis
It started as a nickname - 'Fruit Nerd' - given to him by his friends, but his love of fresh fruit made sure it would stick. The son of a fruiterer, Thanh Truong is now a produce expert and a big believer that eating with our eyes is a mistake.Thanh reckons "food is an adventure" and he's committed to getting people to, quite simply, eat more produce. Which seems like an easy enough sell...until you hear that one of his favourite fruits is the very controversial Durian. Thanh's three food memories connect to family and heritage – and are guaranteed to make your mouth water (hello, mango and rice). Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation is Thanh's chosen social impact organisation, helping children understand where food comes from and develop a lifelong appreciation for seasonal, fresh and delicious food.Produced and edited by Lauren McWhirterOriginal score by Russell Torrance Send us a textTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at [email protected], we'd love to hear from you!
