How do you eat a quince?

Answer 1

Yes you can - like eating the seeds of Oranges/mandarines/tangerines/etc, it won't be harmful.

However, it might not taste as good with the seeds as without, although that's a matter of preference - though because kumquats have a mixed tart/sour and sweet taste, you might not notice the taste of the seeds as much as you do when eating the seeds of the sweeter citruses like oranges.

Answer 2

Most Kumquats have a sweet fragrant peeling and a very tart juicy flesh inside. Many have several seeds in the flesh. Typically the peeling is what you eat. The inside may be crushed for it's juice and sweetened to be used in drinks and pies. The tart flesh may be a little too bitter, so some varieties may not be well suited for pies. Bitter varieties will however be a useful ingredient in some mixed cocktails, and the taste is quite similar to lime. Some people who are more adventurous eat the fruit whole. I wouldn't advise eating it whole unless you really enjoy extreme sour! Try different varieties, as they can vary greatly in taste. But in general, it's like a little lime with an edible peeling that's often fairly easy to peel. Chopped fruit (seeds removed) may be added to salads, and the juice can be used in salad dressings and sauces. Enjoy your Kumquats!

Answer 3

You can eat kiwifruits “as is.” You can peel them with a paring knife and then slice them, or you can cut them in half and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. You can rub off the fuzz before you eat them, but try to eat the skins, which are very thin and are full of nutrients and fiber.

Eat kiwifruits soon after cutting, as they contain enzymes (actinic and bromic acids) that act as a food tenderizer, with the ability to further tenderize the kiwifruit itself and make it overly soft. If you are adding kiwifruit to fruit salad, you should do so at the last minute so as to prevent the other fruits from becoming too soggy.

While sliced kiwifruit may soften other fruits when combined in fruit salad, minimal processing of kiwi and other fruits (cutting, packaging and chilling) does not significantly affect their nutritional content for six to nine days. In practical terms, this means that you can prepare a large bowl of fruit salad, store it in the refrigerator, and enjoy it all week, receiving almost all the nutritional benefits of freshly prepared fruit salad. To ensure that kiwifruit does not “tenderize” the other fruits in your salad, store sliced kiwi in a separate air-tight container and add to the rest of the fruit salad just before serving.

Some serving ideas:

• Eat kiwifruit as is
  
• Add whole kiwifruits, skin and all, to smoothies
  
• Toss kiwifruit into green salads
  
• Serve sliced kiwifruit and strawberries topped with non-dairy yogurt
  
• Mix sliced kiwifruit, orange, and pineapple together to make chutney
  
• Purée watermelon, cantaloupe, and kiwifruit; swirl in a little non-dairy yogurt and serve as cold soup
  
• Slice kiwifruit to use in fruit tarts
  

Answer 4

You pop it in your mouth like a grape and chew. You eat the rind. The rind is sweet and the fruit inside is tart and the combination is delicious when they're ripened well.

Answer 5

Cut the kiwi fruit in half and spoon the fruit into mouth with a spoon. Kiwi fruit is eaten plain, as a desert, fruit juice or salad. It is rarely heated.

Answer 6

You wash the Kumquast then put the whole thing into your mouth and chew.

Please note to never swallow the fruit as it is very sour.

Answer 7

quince must be peel and boiled.
