Crunch crunch moistness mmm.
I think the thing which ruines salads for me previously is how frequently raw onions and tomatoes get added to them. Now that I took salads without those, turns out I like them. Also, all of the salads I liked had a grain addition (grain eater, please, no, not my salads!) which I think adds a lot. Salads are very nice: as long as they’re more than just tomatoes, bitter leaves and raw onion slices - this is an abomination, idk why so many places sell this.
I’d formulate the ideal salad something like this:
- green leaves (avoid too bitter ones) for green and crunch
- sauce to moisturize it
- a grain (the grains I had were white ones which don’t look or taste like rice - they were moist on their own and very pleasant to add)
- non-veg addition: e.g. falafel balls, nuts (e.g. walnuts), tiny toast cubes (“croutons”), tiny cheese cubes
Most has to be veg, but the addition of else is mandatory, especially the grain. Texture is such an important part of eating.
Enjoy your salads. :3
If you’re not in any medication (grapefruit has chemical compounds that can render a lot of medications useless due to how they unintentionally affect your liver), then grapefruit is extremely economical as it lasts a long time, you can break the portions of a single one over multiple days, it’s delicious, and you can fully peel them.
Hopefully this can help!
I just had my first grapefruit. It’s so revolutionary! You were indeed correct about how it can be actually completely peeled which allowed me to swallow it. :D Is there anything else which can be peeled as much? My grapefruit wasn’t very economical. it cost 1 euro and I ate the entire thing immediately. :|
Tangerines are easy to peel
@[email protected] can you confirm?
Easy to peel, but if you don’t like the skin on oranges then they might not be the best choice. It is possible to fully peel them, but they are tiny so the reward to time ratio isn’t extremely great, and it might be a bit hard.
Worth a shot at least!
I highly recommend that you get a seedless variety. Tangerines or mandarin oranges with seeds are hellish to me.
Thank you. I need the full peel. Maybe grapefruits is all I’ll get. Still, a huge progress. :3
Grapefruits are a good start! I’m really happy you like them! Definitely one of my favorite fruit.
It might help with the cost, and I find it makes them taste even better, but when you peel the grapefruit save half of it in a small bowl for later and leave it to chill in the fridge. After an hour or two, it should be completely chilled and should have a really interesting “bite” to its flavor. You should be able to keep it in the fridge up to a day, but the sooner you eat it the better of course, if you leave it to long while it’s peeled it’ll get a little rubbery.
I will devour a grapefruit a day. >:3
I’m so happy you liked it! Grapefruit really are amazing!
That is a bit of a steep price though, the ones around me are usually around 1USD, which is something I bite the bullet on because they are an invaluable part of my diet and they are extremely healthy.
Sadly I cannot think of another citrus that can be peeled like that other then lemons, which ironically I do eat like grapefruit, but only because I have a tree in my yard and the lemons are incredibly sweet and not bitter because I let them fully ripen.
If I think of anything I’ll message you!
Thanks. Maybe I’ll try eating a lemon. Do the green lemons also work?
Please do not eat store bought lemons. You will destroy your enamel as they are not fully developed and the citric acid within them is to concentrated to safely consume like oranges. Plus it will be really bitter.
Same goes with limes. Plus limes are mostly used for garnish in drinks and food.
Oki. Thank you for looking out for me. >/////<
No worries :3 It’s the least I could do!
Thank you, grapefruit lord. :3
You’re welcome my grapefruit minion lol
