When Fruit is Perfectly Ripe

Tristan Kwong of Bonnie's restaurant in Brooklyn is a fruit expert. Here, he gives us the lowdown on the best way to judge whether the fruits you are buying at the grocery store are at their peak of ripeness. But it's a lot more than that. We get to see how he peels, presents, and eats each fruit from pomelo to dragonfruit. Yeah, you'll learn about our old standbys like bananas, apples, and oranges, but you'll also be introduced to many fruits that have only become available nationwide in the last few years. Don't miss the part where he tells us he's allergic to cherries, and then proceeds to get cherry juice all over his hands, and then eats one! It's all part of the job. Warning: not only will you learn a lot about fruit from this video, you'll also develop a craving to go shop for and try some new kinds of fruit. (via Digg)
