    I love how everyone’s complaining about the audiences voice while I’m over here questioning why I just watched half an hour of how to cut fruit
  • @oney3281
    If I were a fruit, I'd have a crush on the dragonfruit. Beautiful interior.
  • @zawarudo497
    important note about the prickly pear, the one he sliced in this video already had the spikes removed, if you find one growing you need to remove them yourself (you can find methods online) and DO NOT touch it before you have, even if it doesn't look like there are spikes where you're grabbing there are incredibly small ones covering the entire thing in addition to the big ones that you can see, use tongs instead if you find one in a store it probably has the spikes removed already

    Title: How to slice EVERY fruits. Coconut in the distance: "I'm ok"
  • @eurapeon
    Thank you for the time-stamps! I thought the audience reactions were unnecessary but I do appreciate the time spent editing this video. Great job 👏
  • @theforestrobin
    His gooseberry is actually a physalis, also known as a groundcherry or a cape gooseberry. I had to look it up when he said it was a gooseberry and it looked nothing like the green berries my grandparents grew, which are also called gooseberries (from the ribes plant family).

    Me: - Learn how to slice different fruits ❌ - Learn the actual names of different fruits ✔

    This is so helpful, but I can’t overstate how much simpler it is to cut a lot of these fruits with a very sharp knife (looking at you, pineapple). I avoided buying pineapples for the longest time because they were so hard to cut. Finally bought a set of very sharp knives a couple years ago (the same he uses in this video) and it makes cutting pineapple and melons a breeze!

    Chef: I will show you two ways to cut a pomegranate. Shows only one. Alright then keep your secrets.
  • @nikable
    have had this video saved for 3 years and just had a moment where I needed it- thanks!
  • @ariz.z.i
    Something about watching a man teaching me how to slice fruit for 23 minutes makes me happy
  • @PyroNZA
    Everybody’s talking about the audience but no ones talking about how genuine this man is being
  • @deathsoul1807
    I swear they hired the audience from lord farquaad and fiona's wedding
  • I just bought a bunch of fruits ro prepare for a smoothi cleanse and this video was really helpful for me. Thank you for saving me time and a bunch of youtube searches, its much appreciated! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
  • @KFORKAT
    I loved all of these. One that I would change is the pomegranate though- if you score the outside into quarters and open it up that way, then you can keep all the juice in :)
