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 tried a black plum today, and it was meh. Lol! It didn’t have much flavor, but it was juicy. So it’s kinda neutral on my rating scale lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 Nice. I tried asparagus for the first time the other day. Very tasty and pretty easy to cook. Took like one minute. I like crunchy, crispy food.
Asparagus is amazing <3
I need to get new fruit today for the next few days! Any suggestions?? Also, if it’s something unusual, please tell me how to eat it lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 I might be too late (maybe a suggestion for next time). If you can find them, how about Cotton Candy Grapes? (I’ve found them at Publix in the past, if there’s one near you.) Yum!
I’ve actually tried those before. They taste kinda fake sweet to me. Not a fan lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 Oh! 😂 Yeah, that’s true. I can’t eat many of them in one sitting.
I got new fruits today <3 I got a kiwi 🥝, a red pear 🍐, an opal apple 🍎 (it's yellow!), and a few sugar snap peas 🫛
(Let’s see if these emojis come through, or if they come up as gibberish lol)
I tried a kiwi today! Admittedly, it’s not my first time eating one, but it’s been years since I’ve had one. I peeled it very badly lol, but saved the peel parts, and scraped off the good stuff with my teeth, like an artichoke.
It was pretty good. Kinda tart, only a couple of mouthfuls of “meat”, and fun to scrape off. :) Not on par with the red pear (my ultimate favorite in my quest so far), but a nice and tart little treat! <3
I also discovered in my research that kiwi skins are *technically* edible, but there are caveats. Google and research before eating kiwi skins. Make your own judgement call. :)
@jesusredeemedme2425 So many things are technically edible, aren’t they? 😅
Like I joke to people all the time…
Everything is edible… once. XD
Today I bought a passion fruit, a pepino melon, and a red banana. Any tips or tricks on how to eat them?? Thanks! <3
I tried a passion fruit today… I am not a fan. Lol
Passion fruits are REALLY sour! They’re good, but too sour for my liking. They’re also super cool and weird looking inside hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425
I guess they are to passionate? The be careful of the pasugarsion fruit!
I wonder what would happened if I added sugar to it lol
Happen*
@jesusredeemedme2425
It might melt!? Sugar melts some things tho that is super rare, it would probably just because some weird sweet and sour passion.
Red bananas taste mostly like regular bananas, but different. Idk how to describe it lol. However, when they’re on toast, they taste quite like regular bananas and are virtually indistinguishable from them.
Pepino melons are very juicy and have a very thin skin. You eat the inside, and the peel is edible, although a bit bitter (says Google; I didn’t try the peel). I find it kinda neutral, but I’m not a super fan of it. I shared it with my coworkers; one liked it and one didn’t. So the jury’s kinda out, here. XD
I tried a Fuji Apple the other day, and it was amazing! It was soooo sweet and juicy and good… It was almost like candy. And I’m not one to rave about apples, so my awesome review says a lot hehe
