i’m going to bet not many of you have seen these little guys. in all my 9 years of being around specialty produce, this was a first for me. i like to look over the produce section this time of year and see “what’s new.” that’s how i discovered kohlrabi…
i had no idea there were so many varieties of apples.
autumn glory is my new favourite kind of apple. ever heard of it?! better yet, have you tried one?!?!
i love the colour… Continue reading
ever seen one of these? you may have passed them in the produce section and wondered what that odd-looking grapefruit type thing was… well, it’s a pomelo – or, pummelo. they aren’t exactly inexpensive, i will say. this is because they are usually sold by the pound and are rather heavy. i paid about 4 bucks for this one… but i bought it with the specific intent of sharing it on the blog with all of you. they are super yummy. if you like grapefruit, there’s a good chance you’ll like a pummelo… the rind is very thick {about a half inch to inch} and the flesh is usually pinkish, but can vary depending on size, origin, etc.
try one!
this guy weighed about 2.5 pounds – i’ve seen them as big and as heavy as 4 pounds – that’s like a 9 dollar piece of fruit! haha
check out that rind! {and that pretty colour!}
so yummy. and so good for you : fiber, vitamin c, and potassium all come with pummelo’s yummy flavour.
try one, for real! eat them by the slice, throw them in a smoothie {white part too, it’s full of fiber!}, add to a fruit salad, freeze and throw in some soda water… whatever you do, enjoy it!
that was fun.
and as we all know, i love to try new things. so, i saw these little pretty peppers hanging out in the produce section one day and i immediately snagged them up, got on my phone and googled how to make them!
