Trying New Fruits and Veggies!
I’m inspired to try new fruits, and eventually veggies/legumes/fungi/etc, and I wanted to open up that inspiration to the 7Cups community! <3
Please tell us about the new fruits and veggies you try, or that you’re intrigued by and want to try. Also, please tell us about the local fruits in your country/culture that others may want to try (for example, I’ve never tried a kiwano, prickly pear, or pawpaw, but these are everyday staples in some cultures).
And not just fruits and veggies! Tell us about mushrooms, and nuts, and grains, and honey, and spices, and other healthy foods that you try, or want to try! Let’s all get healthier together just by exploring the natural foods of the world together! <3

I personally like eating pine trees! Lol jk jk
I discovered I love red pears! They’re sweet and juicy.
I’m not as much into green pears (not sure of the name). They’re harder, drier, and difficult to cut with a plastic knife at work. They’re not bad, they just need to be cut at home, so I can eat them easily at work.
@jesusredeemedme2425
I've never had a red pear! I would love to try one
They sell them in grocery stores, so they’re easy to access :) Buy one this week and try it, and let us know what you think! <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 I never knew they were so different. I’ve avoided both colors because I haven’t enjoyed the green ones.
Sorry red pears for prejudging you! 😬
Same! Also I’m not even sure I realized the red ones existed before lol
Have you tried a red pear yet? ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425
Kiwis are delicious.
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve tried one lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 i am looking forward to this for sure as when it comes to food, I am not adventurous at all 😁 Vegetable wise, I love carrots, gherkins, turnip, potatoes, courgettes and peppers. Fruit wise it would have to be strawberries, oranges and apples, dont hand me a tomato, I picked them for a year while travelling abroad and they have me traumatized now 😁 i never used a spice in my life so this thread will be an eye opener for me, when i travelled, if i didn't like the look of the food, McDonald's was my saviour more times than not 🥰
@Amanda84 I had to google courgettes. ☺️ Yes! Very yummy grilled or fried. 🤤
Courgette= zucchini. I just googled it myself hehe
Hmm, I really want to try durian... And maybe some new kinds of mushrooms.
Theres a good honey peanut butter my friend found this week, and I really liked it.
My go-to fruits nowadays are peaches, bananas, and pineapple. Been eating more squash and eggplant lately, and definitely lots of seaweed.
Good luck trying durian… That smell tho XD
I want to try new varieties of mushrooms too <3
My go-tos tend to be apples and oranges. Too basic hehe
Have you tried any new mushrooms lately?
Dragon fruit. I see them in the store and think "I should get one" I never do though. I can be kind of weird about food texture. So for now I keep it a mystery 😂
@mytwistedsoul I figured there’d be a gif for dragonfruit. The internet never disappoints! Couldn’t decide which I liked more. 😊
@PiecesOfWhoeverIWas If that cat likes it that has to say something because aren't most cats finicky? Dragon breath sounds kind of interesting 😂
@mytwistedsoul That’s a good point, I think cats usually are really picky.
I wondered about the dragon breath too. Like morning breath, but if you went around eating whole cows and villagers the night before. 😝 Do you think they are least barbecue them beforehand, or just gulp them raw?
I have way too much fun looking up GIFs. 😂 I don’t know why the dragon is wearing business attire.
@PiecesOfWhoeverIWas Maybe it depends on their mood? Some days you just don't feel like cooking so you grab an unsuspecting villager on the fly 😂
@mytwistedsoul “Some days you just don’t feel like cooking” 😂😂😂😂 That’s so funny!
The texture’s fine, it just doesn’t have a lot of flavor lol! I was expecting more flavor from such a pretty fruit <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 well that's disappointing! I was hoping for well idk what I was hoping for 😂 maybe for someone to say it's absolutely delicious and you haven't lived until you've had one 😁
I’m sure it’s really good for you <3
The flavor is kinda neutral, the way tofu is neutral, but juicier lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 I've never eaten tofu! At least not willingly that I knew about 😬
You really should! It’s a great substitute for meat in chili. It just absorbs the flavor of whatever is around it, like the sauce, so it takes on that flavor <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 I'm going to have to give that some thought 😅 Tbh it always looked kind of rubbery 😬 sort of like calamari
Nooo lol! It’s kinda like a mushroom, the texture and mouth feel. A little softer than that. It’s not an unpleasant texture at all :)
Did you try tofu yet hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425 I’ve been trying to think if I’ve tried anything new in a while. I went to a Korean restaurant and had bulgogi which was very yummy. Fruits and vegetables, I also had cucumber kimchi there if that counts 😅 (not first cucumber though). I’m realizing I haven’t been very adventurous lately. Also for some reason I don’t like fruit much, I don’t know why. I love vegetables. I’ll have to search for a new one next time I’m at the store! I’ll consider a new fruit too, but 😝
What’s bulgogi?
Let us know what you find! <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 Bulgogi was described like bbq. I chose pork. It wasn’t heavily sauced, more like marinated, a little sweet. It was quite good!
I’m eating a red plum (unsure of name), and it’s quite sour lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 I wonder if it wasn’t entirely ripe yet? I’m trying to remember if I found the red plums sour as well. I’ve usually been buying the dark purple ones.
I’m not sure. I haven’t eaten plums in awhile, so this is a new endeavor for me rn lol
