When you hear the word “fruit,” usually the typical names pop to mind: apple, banana, pear, orange, peach, etc. But this month you’ll need to think outside the box, as it is Root Vegetable and Exotic Fruits Month. Have you ever heard (or tasted) any of these?
You can use a fruit knife to taste-test some of these fruits (although some have a hard outer shell, so you might need something a bit stronger!)
Have you ever purchased fruit from the grocery store, only to come home, slice it up, and realize it just wasn’t as ripe as you had hoped?
Enter the fruit knife.
Before cutting up all of the fruit you might be baking with for Thanksgiving, have a quick taste-test by taking a small segment out with your fruit knife. If it’s not quite ready, leave it out to ripen for a few more days and it’ll be ready for whatever delish pie you’re going to make next week!
Happy Holidays!
What is your snack of choice during the work day? Something sweet, savory, or crunchy?
I’m not much of a snacker, but since today is Eat Fruit At Work Day, I think I’ll grab a fresh peach from my peach tree!
The best tool that farmers use to taste-test their fruits is a good ol’ fruit knife. Do you have one of these in your arsenal?
