Preparing Fruits

Wash fruits well. Use a vegetable brush to remove dirt.

Leave on the edible skins when possible. Remember they are good fiber and nutrient sources.Serve fruits raw to retain the most nutrients.

Serve in salads, side dishes, desserts, or snacks.

Use cutting boards when cutting fruits to protect the working surface.

To prevent fruit discoloration caused by exposure to air, dip fruit into fruit juice, do not cut fruit until ready to serve, and store in an airtight container after cutting.Slide13

Cooking fruits

Save nutrients, improve shape, texture, flavor and color by cooking fruits properly.

Use the least amount of cooking water.Cook with a lid to speed cooking time.

Fruits cooked in water will get soft and lose their shape.

Don’t overcook. Cook just until tender but crisp.

Fruits cooked in sugar syrup will retain their shape.

Methods of cooking include simmering, steaming, baking, frying or

microwave cooking.
