A fruit salad with one or more of these fruits will really impress at the brunch table, and now that the BBQ season is truly approaching, there’s almost nothing better than ending a dinner outdoors with fresh fruit for dessert. And many of these are also fantastic in cocktails! Or cake! See? Getting your vitamins is a breeze, especially when it takes so little effort to cut ‘complicated’ fruits like these using the handy infographics from British Pound Place.

Pomegranate

Essential in a fresh tabbouleh, incredibly healthy, and also delicious in a dessert. Getting the pomegranate seeds out of the peel is a breeze with this trick:

Watermelon

I LOVE watermelon, and if no one gets in my way, I’ll eat the entire watermelon—which was actually meant for the family—by myself in two days. And I put the last pieces in a watermelon mimosa. With this cutting method, that’ll be even easier for me, ha!

Pineapple

That weird plastic pineapple slicer has been gathering dust in the kitchen drawer for years, and it can stay there for the foreseeable future. Just look how handy this is!

Mango

The mango hedgehog: I still remember how fantastic I thought it was as a child when I first saw one in a hotel. And it’s still a really fun and convenient way to quickly cut a mango into pieces. There you go, perfect for the mango cheesecake!

Pitahaya

I think it’s the most beautiful one of the bunch: with its bright pink exterior and white flesh speckled with black. What a beauty this fruit is. And with this cutting method, you can process it super easily!
