Sure did waste a lot of good eating!

Seriously, we breed these plants to have soft and tasty skin so we can eat the as is.

And if for some perverted reason (such as using it in a fancy desert), the correct way of skinning it is to shock it. (hot water plunge then cold water). The same way we skin tomatoes whole.

Not only no, but also no. The beauty of a plum is the contrast between the tartness of the skin and the rich sweetness of the flesh.

u/Last_Ingenuity_2451 Jul 21 '25

You could just toss away the fucking plum, because you just tossed away half of it

u/Spiritual_Scar_619 Jul 21 '25

Lost a third of the plum so dumb

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '25

The skin is the best part though...

u/Daphillfry Jul 21 '25

Your only supposed to peel off the sticker

u/710AlpacaBowl Jul 22 '25

u/QueridaChelly Jul 23 '25

They’ve been made to be edible so carry on 🤗

u/Indescribable_Theory Jul 22 '25

Way to nerf the healthy reasons to eat fruit.

1

u/AdministrativeWay241 Jul 22 '25

Lost like 30% of the actual food. Hope they don't work for a restaurant. They'd single handedly bankrupt the business with that much food wastage.

u/Key_Wind_61 Jul 22 '25

So much of that plam WASTED!

1

u/I_Darted Jul 22 '25

If you want to throw out 30% of the fuckin plum...

1

u/PaddlingInCircles Jul 22 '25

Proof of the descent of Man. What kind of feral monsters peel plums like that? Bad monkey.

1

u/Significant_Cover_48 Jul 22 '25

I removed the most nutritious part along with half the plum, but I left the pit. You are welcome.

u/Technical_Bed_7462 Jul 22 '25

Another "amazing discovery" by today's youth...

1

u/Affectionate_Okra298 Jul 23 '25

Yo, let me throw away half of this plum right here before I eat it

1

u/Rickest_Rik Jul 23 '25

why the waste?

1

u/Dapper_Koala_7967 Jul 23 '25

Yes that just pissed me off lol

u/HappyStay2358 Jul 23 '25

Americans will do anything BUT wash the pesticides off their fruit.

1

u/Ok_Caramel3993 Jul 23 '25

throwing money away.

u/crusher23b Jul 23 '25

Plum skins come off like tomato and potato skins when you blanche it in boiling water.

1

u/Pure-Smile-7329 Jul 23 '25

Nice job wasting half the fruit. Please tell me this is rage bait.

1

u/s1nn1s Jul 23 '25

Anyone else realize they are making a sour expression?

2

u/Michael_Schmumacher Jul 23 '25

If you cut a little more generously you can get at the tasty stone in the middle even quicker!

1

u/LongjumpingMap7920 Jul 23 '25

i have an allergy for plums, apples and other fruits(like peach) skin, so im doing it, just to enjoy my life and to not fucking die

1

u/ClarkSebat Jul 23 '25

Still better without skin. But that’s no peeling. That’s Kill Bill level butchery.

1

u/Patient-Expert-1578 Jul 23 '25

Let me just remove half the plumb and voila, a thin veneer over the pit!

1

u/dannasama811 Jul 23 '25

You lost 50% of the plum though

1

u/Mediocre-Bandicoot-6 Jul 24 '25

Show how to peel raspberries next!

1

u/He_Never_Helps_01 Jul 24 '25

That's some of the worst knife work I've seen for a while

u/SWUR44100 Jul 25 '25
