Monday 27 April 2020 d41 - Time to cut the papaya bought on Saturday 25 April 2020 d39. So after cutting it into two halves, should I scoop the papaya out or just peel the skin?
I tried to scoop out the papaya but found that it is difficult to control as it is very juicy and soft so I ended up peeling the skin away and cutting it into pieces. Sweet and juicy! Ate the papaya for two days.
The peeled skins go into a compost pit and the seeds was scattered around the front yard to see whether they will grow into papaya trees or not.
Since it is not that soft, I had to cut deep, leaving the hard meat on the skin so there was only two containers of honey melon to go into the fridge.
I m lousy in cutting fruits too.
ReplyDeleteNo lah. Everyone can cut fruits. No rules lah.
DeleteI will peel...and cut away that part in the middle where the seeds stick on to. I've one tree growing steadily in my garden from some seeds that I buried together with the skin. Hopefully, something will come out of it.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that sweet papayas will grown on that tree.
DeleteFor the big papaya, I would peel and cut but when eating those small solo papayas, I will scoop. Have you tried eating papaya with a squeeze of lime juice? It is very nice.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have not. Thanks for the recommendation.
DeleteLately, I have been enjoying papaya and honey melon given by my neighbour.
ReplyDeleteYour neighbour is so nice. Are those home grown by your neighbour?
DeleteI would peel the papaya for sure as I need to save in the fridge. I was trained to peel fruits the Thai style such as peeling one whole mango's skin into just one long thread.
ReplyDeleteHoney melon often gave me hard flesh until I surrendered. Now I would look for ready cut pieces to be safe.
You use peeler or just knife to peel? Ya, the Honeydew Melon is a tough fruit to peel.
DeleteI use knife.
DeleteWah, expert! *Thumbs up*
DeleteI'd peel and not scoop. Peeling first means work first but after that just enjoy. Scooping is doing work at each scoop and like you say, tends to be messy.
ReplyDeleteFor both papaya and honeydew melon?
DeleteYes. Totally won't be scooping honeydew, too much hard work.
DeleteThe skin of honeydew is tough.
