Fruit and Vegetable Tricks to Help You Get the Most Out of Your Produce

Bon jour-Greetings, and welcome to the article which I hope will teach you a new trick or two about your fruit and vegetable produce. When writing this article I'm drawing upon roughly seven years of professional culinary experience. However that was many years ago, and at present the only food preparation I do is around the house with the little lady. That is, when I'm not learning tricks from her when she's taking the lead in the kitchen.

We all love fruit. We don't all love vegetables. So without question, I'll start with tricks involving fruit. And how many of us wouldn't put oranges right up there on the list as our favorite. However, how many of us have a little trouble when we're trying to peel 'em? We love oranges, but we don't necessarily love the membranes contained within. I have a cutting technique that will eliminate those membranes when setting out fresh oranges on a fruit plate.

What about "quite possibly the world's most perfect food," bananas? I beg to differ, Avocados have no equal in the fruit world in my book. Nonetheless, that is how the banana industry advertised its fruit for many years. Didn't think there were any tricks to be had for a fruit that's so easy to peel, did you! I've got a really simple one in my bag of tricks that you won't soon forget.

Now that I've mentioned avocados, I'll include a trick that will allow you to get that big hunkin seed out without making a mess of the fruit around it, so that it's nice and presentable. O.K., I did say fruit "and" vegetable tricks. Lastly, I'll include one vegetable trick. Hey, four fruit tricks to one vegetable trick is about right, wouldn't you say.
