Questions about Fruit
Should you keep fruit in the fridge or on the worktop?
Keep berries, grapes and ripe cut fruit in the fridge; leave bananas and unripe stone fruit at room temperature so they can ripen. Keep apples apart from fruit you want to ripen more slowly, as they release ethylene gas.
Should you wash fruit before storing it?
Usually, wash fruit just before eating it rather than before putting it away: extra moisture can make berries and grapes spoil faster. Rinse under clean running water and dry gently; don’t use soap.
How do you stop cut fruit going brown?
Toss apple, pear or banana slices with a little lemon juice, then seal them in a container and refrigerate. The acid slows browning, though it won’t stop it indefinitely.
Can you freeze fresh fruit?
Yes. Spread berries, peeled banana slices or chopped stone fruit on a tray until firm, then transfer them to a freezer bag; this stops the pieces freezing into one block. Use frozen fruit in smoothies, porridge or baking.
Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?
Botanically, a tomato is a fruit because it develops from a flower and contains seeds. In cooking, people usually treat it as a vegetable because it is used in savoury dishes.
What is the difference between fruit and vegetables?
Botanically, fruit develops from a flower and contains seeds; vegetables are other edible parts of plants, such as leaves, roots and stems. In everyday cooking, the distinction is looser: tomatoes are generally used as vegetables, while rhubarb is often used like a fruit.
What goes well with fruit at breakfast?
Try berries or sliced pear with porridge, yoghurt or cereal; banana works well with peanut butter on toast. Add fruit shortly before serving if you want crunchy cereal to stay crisp.
