Lucky Fruits for New Years

January: Pineapples

The Chinese word for pineapple is “ong-lai,” which means “fortune cones”. Pineapples are also popular symbols in feng shui as they symbolize prosperity and wealth.

February: Oranges

The round shape represents coins. The color represents gold in Chinese tradition. Oranges are also chalked with Vitamin C. By eating them regularly this year, you can up your chances of having good health.

March: Apples

The Chinese word for apple is “ping,” which means “harmony”. There are several different varieties of apples to choose from so which one do you pick? If you are wanting good luck, choose red apples. If money is what you are after, display green ones. You also can’t go wrong with having red AND green apples in your home.

April: Grapes

This fruit represents luxury as these were traditionally eaten by royalty. They are often the fruit of choice in the Philippines to display on New Year’s Eve. They also act as a nice centerpiece to the dining room table.

May: Bananas

Since this fruit comes in clusters, they symbolize unity. Their yellow color also stands for happiness. Bananas are cheap so they are easy to replace once they start to turn brown.

June: Mangos

The sweetness of this fruit signifies strong family ties. Mangos are also very healthy and can easily be added to drinks or foods without overpowering them.

July: Lemons

The fragrance and essence of lemons is known to cleanse and remove negative vibes. The bright color of this fruit can add a pop of color to any room which makes them a great lucky fruit to display around your household.

August: Watermelons

This fruit symbolizes prosperity. Their many seeds stand for abundance. You don’t have to display huge watermelons around your home as there are smaller varieties available as well.

September: Papayas

Similar to the orange, this fruit represents gold in Chinese tradition. In order to bring about the most luck, choose the roundest looking papayas that you can find.

October: Lychees

The round, red body of this fruit stands for happiness and good fortune. One of the interesting features about lychees is that when they are cut open, they have what looks to be a “dragon eye” in the middle of them.

November: Avocados

The unique green and purple colors of this fruit symbolize prosperity. They also make for a nutritious snack if you get hungry.

December: Pomelos

The bright red or pink pulp of the pomelo represents good health. The fruit has a sweet taste once you get past the thick rind.
