Feijoa is not the most common fruit for our market, although many have seen and tried everything.
However, not everyone knows what it is – a berry or a fruit, and how to eat it correctly. By default, many peel the skin – but is this correct?
Let's find out how to eat feijoa correctly and how to understand that the berry is already ripe.
Signs of maturity
There is not much choice, because feijoa berries arrive on the market unripe.
This is not a big deal, because they ripen happily at home just like ordinary tomatoes.
A ripe berry is considered slightly soft, but without spots and with an even skin. Its taste becomes less tart, sourish-sweet.
How to eat properly
If the berries are fully ripe, they can be eaten with the skin.
Many people eat green feijoa with the skin, but it is tough and has a specific taste.
You don't have to peel it, you can just cut the berry and eat the pulp with a spoon.
Those who like to peel overseas fruits should know that the dried skin of the berry can be used to brew tea.
And another pleasant moment is that the beneficial properties of this berry are preserved even after heat treatment.
