that are

fatty even maybe something a little

salty this is a prickly pear a prickly

pear is basically the fruit from the top

of a cactus well you really need to do

is cut off both ends we've got a

beautiful flesh on the inside and you

make a little incision and the skin

should peel right away then you get this

beautiful beautiful piece of fruit

most people just eat this whole like

this but you can slice it and that is

prickly pear this is a star fruit not

much to do to star for basically it

comes in its own wrapper you eat the

wrapper all you really need to do is

start free to slice it you take the end

then the top off everything on the star

fruit is edible and you just cut into

slices you don't even need to worry

about the seeds they eat it

this is a ram ten or a bunch of ram

Vuitton's so what I'd like to do is just

to make a little bit of an incision

there and then you can peel the skin

away what this has in the center though

is a very hard seed but if you want to

get the flesh off of the seed what you

can do is cut around the seed it's

floral fragrant it's also really juicy

goes really well with gin and vodka when

you get a bite of it you're not really

so sure what it is it has that kind of

like sweet fragrant candy flavor this is

a passion fruit delicious sour not hard

to process chef knife cut it around the

equator open er up Oh looks good this is

basically what you want to see nice kind

of juicy passion fruit super sour but

delicious this is a mandarin usually

what I'll do is I'll just get my thumb

in there right where the stem is and

I'll peel it by hand and then all you

really need to do is pull the sections

apart and you eat the sections nothing

else to be done Manor this is a

persimmon it's delicious but it can also

catch you if you cut this when it's not

ripe and you eat it it has a very drying

effect on your tongue and all I do is

cut it open when I want to take any stem

out I cut it in half and then make a

little bit of a V cut and then you can

just cut this into slices you can peel

it or you can eat the peel this one

looks like it needs to just ripen just a

little bit more it's kind of sweet it's

it's getting there

[Applause]

this is veno milk when I hear Peppino I

think cucumber because Peppino is how

you say cucumber in Spanish so we crack

it open oh look at that I'm gonna give

it a whiff smells like a cross between a

cucumber and a melon let me cut this in

half the skin kind of peels away really

nice I'm gonna take some of the seed pod

out it's got a nice soft flesh and

exactly like it advertises it tastes

like a cross favorite cucumber and a

melt this is a quince Kevin looks like a

cross being an apple and a pear quince

needs to be processed before you

actually eat it and the way that I do

that is I'm gonna cut off both ends and

peel the aroma when you first cut it is

just amazing it's super fragrant but you

can see if you look at the flesh it's

really dry so quince needs to be cooked

for a little while take off the peels

cut it in half and then in quarters and

then we're gonna just take out the

center just like an apple get in there

angle your knife down to take out the

seeds you want to make sure that you get

all of that kind of Center pith out and

then you just dice it this were the

pomegranate was in the Garden of Eden

it wasn't an apple it was a quince or a

pomegranate a little trivia this is a

cherimoya I'm just gonna cut this in

half and there's a bunch of black seeds

in the center it has a white kind of

creamy flesh you kind of got to pull it

away from the seeds to eat it you're

basically gonna pull this away and eat

it spit the seeds out and eat the flesh

off of the skin and that's pretty good

this is an apple two pieces of equipment

I have a peeler and a knife first thing

I do is peel the Apple take the top off

with the peeler and one round ring take

the bottom off in a round ring and then

just take the skin off okay peeled cut

me off on quarters and then I take the

core out

Joffre this is a dragon fruit you'll see

these a lot in China towns across the

United States but it's really easy to

take care of it and cut up open you just

want to cut off both ends look at that

beautiful inside in the end the skin

beautiful colors you want to cut off

both ends and then all you really have

to do is score it and the skin should

peel right off you just get your finger

underneath the skin and it peels right

off and that has this beautiful interior

I'm gonna cut this in half but look at

that looks like sesame seeds kind of

reminds me of cucumbers a little bit

that's a dragon fruit this is an avocado

this I cut in my hand I take my chef's

knife and when it's just cut and instead

of moving the knife I move the avocado
