Does anyone know how to cut and prepare a sharon fruit and a passion fruit?

[mynaughtylittlesister]

Also what part you actually eat with regards to skin etc.

Thanks

I don't know about sharon fruit but passion fruit I just cut in half and scoop out the flesh inside. I suppose you could seive the seeds out but I normally bung it all in for a fruit salad or something like that.

Passion fruit - cut it in half with a sharp knife and scoop out the seeds to eat.

Don't know about a sharon fruit. But the passion fruit (OH gorgeous!!) cut in half and scoop out the flesh and seeds inside. Don't eat the skin. Gorgeous over ice cream, part of a fresh fruit salad or in smoothies!

Thanks, I am running a cooking and tasting thing after sch today and have bought these 2 fruits (I did have an idea about the passion fruit, just wanted to make sure thou!)

Thanks

Sharon fruit I eat like a kiwi - cut in half and scoop out the inside with a teaspoon. Don't eat the skin.

On the subject of new fruit, I bought some blueberries the other day (I know I am behind but they are normally so expensive) and they are booooring. I thought they would taste of more than that. Is it just Sainsburys half-price ones that are lame, or are they all like that?

I just cut them in quarters and eat it all (sharon fruit)- the skin is fine to eat - avoid any that are very hard as they will taste horribly bitter but are gorgeous when ripe - in fact I've just had one !

DrTrillian don't say that about the blueberries, I bought 2 punnets of them! I have just been to the COOP and they are selling their blueberries a £1 cheaper than Sainsburys!

Eat the whole Sharon fruit - really delcious

Scoop out passion fruit but be prepared for lots of 'ooh it's sour' faces


Blueberries are vile imho. Totally overrated.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

blueberries are nice in things, like yogurt or ice cream or jam

[mynaughtylittlesister]

We are making smoothies with the blueberries, so hopefully they should be ok!

Have just felt my sharon fruit its really firm!. I bought it on Tuesday.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

it should give a little when pressed, is it quite an orangey colour ?

[DrTrillianAstra]

I got a punnet of unknown size half price in Sainsburys for £1.24 or something, glad I didn't buy any at full price cos they are just so blah. What can I do with them? Put them in yoghurt, I suppose.

I didn't know you could eat the skin of a sharon fruit- I'm probably missing out on vitamins. They were another 'it's on offer so I'll have a try' idea but they were really nice, very sweet. OTOH I knew a girl who used to eat the whole of a kiwi, to each to their own.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

yick to eating kiwi skin but sharon fruit skin is fine - I think the persimmon is to be regarded more carefully skin wise

[GossipMonger]

ugh! who is eating kiwi skin????

Eating the skin of a kiwi helps you to poo 🙈
