How I peel a Mandarin

Sort of stumbled on this as a way to peel a mandarin a while back. And I've been doing it ever since. It's neat and easy and keeps the peel all together for easy disposal. My wife thinks I'm nuts.

From a friend's tree - they said loquat but the seeds look different?

It smells amazing, kind of grapefruity? Very juicy! Look like loquats to me too but no big brown seeds in the center

Powder coming out of orange??

I peeled an orange and I saw this powder coming out of it. I thought I was seeing things, but there's powder on my hand now. I was wondering if anyone knows what that might be??

Pomegranate Pain

Hello All,

A highlight of the fall/winter season for me is when pomegranates are available in my area. I normally have a 70%+ success rate of picking a good one, but something about this year I'm at like a 25% success rate. I just cannot for the life of me pick one that hasn't begun to rot or is milky already.

When I finally get that crystal clear crimson pomegranate it makes my day. Not to mention those suckers are expensive.

So my question to you all is:

How do you identify a ripe or just good in general pomegranate at the store? What tricks have you developed to increase your odds?

So far I normally look for it to feel heavy relative to its size and be more boxy as opposed to round. Other than that I've got nothing and even those 2 tricks are not fool proof.

They are in season for just a little bit longer here so I'd love to get some more good ones. Right now it feels like I'm gambling and have terrible odds lol.

Any insight much appreciated!!

This is a real question - does persimmon smell like sperm to you?

Again, no perv stuff; true honest question - it totally reminds me of that smell when cutting persimmon and removing the outer skin of the fruit - basically the perfect middle orange looking fruit

My cranberry sauce turned out a bit runny but was perfect spooned on a crispy meringue and surrounded by fresh blueberries

fruit topping discrimination

why is it seen as okay to put near enough every single type of fruit on top of things like cereal, yogurt, cakes Ect… But for some reason it’s considered socially unacceptable to use grape as your fruit topping.

WHAT IF I WANNA MIX IT UP A BIT. WHY DO I GET FUNNY LOOKD WHEN I WANT SLICED GRAPES ON MY GRANOLA YOGURT AND NOT BLUEBERRIES FOR A CHANGE

I buy these dole diced pears all the time and have never seen them look this color (usually more yellow) and have these brown looking seeds in them. Pear seeds are black I think but anyone can help me out I’d appreciate it

Korean Melon variation?

Hi fruity friends. I got a "Korean Melon" from HMart a while ago and I loved it. The outside was yellow with obvious stripes. The inside was pale. It was crunchy and a bit apple-like. Maybe it wasnt even ripe. Today I got another one, the outside was yellow with no stripes but similar indents where the lines "should" be. I didn't really like it. Its taste was more like a Cantaloupe which I, unfortunately, cannot stand.

Did I eat it too early last time and just enjoy the taste of an under ripe melon or are these different varieties? Both were labeled the same and in the same spot at the grocery store.

Scary fruit

The flesh has a mild flavor like dragonfruit. The seeds remind me of dark chocolate and then descends into complete bitterness. I have a pretty high tolerance to bitterness, but this was something else.
