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!
If summer had an official fruit, what would it be? Peaches, blueberries, raspberries? No. Hands down, I bet it would be watermelon. Today is Watermelon Day!
This juicy fruit is yummy plain, chopped up into a salad, or blended into a boozy cocktail. And the best way to do a quick taste-test of it is with a sharp fruit knife.
Any of these should do the trick!
