Before you bite into your delicious apricot today, pause and grab your fruit knife. Use it to slice into your stone fruit and relish in that first yummy bite. Today is National Apricot Day, so take time to savor this petite, unique fruit, and appreciate your wonderful little fruit knife.
When you hear the word “fruit,” usually the typical names pop to mind: apple, banana, pear, orange, peach, etc. But this month you’ll need to think outside the box, as it is Root Vegetable and Exotic Fruits Month. Have you ever heard (or tasted) any of these?
Kumquat
Durian
Pomelo
Mangosteen

You can use a fruit knife to taste-test some of these fruits (although some have a hard outer shell, so you might need something a bit stronger!)
If summer had an official fruit, what would it be? Peaches, blueberries, raspberries? No. Hands down, I bet it would be watermelon. Today is Watermelon Day!
This juicy fruit is yummy plain, chopped up into a salad, or blended into a boozy cocktail. And the best way to do a quick taste-test of it is with a sharp fruit knife.
