At my grocery store they have what they call a produce butcher. For a couple bucks he will chop, peel, cut up, portion whatever fruits and veg you buy. Since I started using this service I’ve eaten a lot more fresh stuff. I love fresh fruit but cutting it is a pain. Ever tried cutting a pomegranate? It’s an all day event.

shareMy butler shells my pistachios and my sunflower seeds. Much preferable to store-bought. Store bought shelled sunflower seeds are a little on the oily side.
shareI would love having something like that available. What store is offering that service?????
shareIt’s this little farmers market type deal down the road . Since I started going there I’ve gotten totally hooked. Best fresh fruit and veg I’ve ever had. And I don’t have to cut it. They have tons of good stuff. A lot of it it’s out of my price range. 20 dollar jerky, 40 dollar steaks. 15 dollar honey . So I just go for the produce, which I don’t mind paying a little more for .
shareThat’s quirky but I do have one question, wouldn’t fresh fruit become awfully dry if it isn’t consumed just after it’s cut or peeled? Or is it cut then reassembled and packaged in wrap or something? You cut an apple or banana and that shit will be brown before you know it when the flesh is exposed.
Cool that you’ve found a market you like. I don’t mind paying a little more for quality produce either but I’m happy to do my own cutting. Then again I love being in the kitchen, any excuse for me!
Fruit and veg shops are usually cheaper than the supermarkets.
shareOn one hand, someone else doing the work appeals to me, being a lazy brute. On the other hand, I'm finicky about eating fresh veggies and being a lazy brute, I only want to shop once a week at most, so a lot of that stuff would go bad before I could eat it.
