Buying and Preparing Exotic Fruit

RE: Buying and Preparing Exotic Fruit Post by dollar out of a dime (8) | (11/04/2006) Contact Ask the produce manager (the person doing the stocking may not know any more than you do, ask for the produce manager) Often when I ask about the taste and how to use it they will cut one open and let me try it. I've even had them come out with information pamplets from the company. They want to sell you on this product, they are a great resource. Have fun with it! RE: Buying and Preparing Exotic Fruit Post By Margie Minard (Guest Post) (11/04/2006) What a good question!!. One that I have wondered at myself. I have seen Asian pears and am told that they taste like a cross between a pear and an apple. The girl who was eating it just treated it like a fresh apple and was munching away. If you like fruit salad, slice a star fruit up into it, especially at Christmas. I didn't care for the taste by itself, but it DID look very pretty, and was kind of a refreshing taste in the salad. I wonder what an Ugli Fruit tastes like??!!??
