Winter Wonderland: My Obsession with Switi Fruit

Hello everyone who's checked out my review!

I'm so stoked it's finally winter, and I'm on a mission to stock up on my favorite fruit – Switi. In the winter months, it's at its sweetest and tastiest in the stores.

I first tried Switi in college, over ten years ago. Back then, you couldn't just find it in any store. My friend and I would go on a fruit hunt to Peremoga and Lenta, and we'd always be thrilled when we managed to get a ripe and juicy one.

Switi stole my heart at first bite, and it's all because I love grapefruits and pomelos – it's a hybrid of the two. It's got a hint of bitterness from the grapefruits and a sweet, juicy taste like a ripe pomelo. In short, it's a total winner in my book!

So, the full product name is 'Switi Fruit'. I love it for its unique taste and versatility.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS:

Origin: IsraelPrice: around 200 rubles per 1 kg.WHERE TO BUY:

Switi is widely available in many grocery stores. I buy it at Magnit. They import Israeli fruits with a black label and a green center with yellow writing. I've never had a bad experience with Israeli produce. In the winter, it's just amazing – sweet and juicy.

PACKAGING:

Each fruit has a label, but there's no individual wrapping or plastic wrap.

Picking the perfect Switi:

I try to choose fruits with a smooth surface and no visible damage or dark spots on the skin.

And don't forget to check the weight! Sometimes, a medium-sized fruit might feel suspiciously light. It's likely to be dry inside. Opt for heavier fruits to ensure they're fresh and juicy.

If you have any tips on how to pick the perfect Switi, share them in the comments – I'm intrigued.

STORAGE AND CLEANING:

After buying Switi, it usually doesn't last a night in my fridge – we devour it within a day. My family loves Switi, and I'm the one who introduced them to it. Now, I'm on Switi-cleaning duty 24/7!

But if you do end up with some leftovers, store them in the fridge. It'll help them stay fresh for longer.

First, I give the skin a good wash under the tap to get rid of any dirt.

I cut off the top with a knife. Gently, so I don't damage the pulp.

I always use a knife to get through the thick skin, as it's hard to do with my nails. I wouldn't recommend biting the skin off with your teeth, either - it's quite bitter.

Once I've cut off the top, my nails come in handy. The rest of the skin is easy to remove.

After I've removed all the skin, the fruit loses a significant amount of weight. That's something we could all use after the holidays.

Then, I cut the fruit in half by hand.

Sviti has those pesky, bitter membranes, thanks to its grapefruit heritage. You can't just bite into it like an orange or a tangerine. So, I carefully remove the membranes with my fingers.

I remove the membranes, one segment at a time.

Once I've cleaned the fruit, it looks like this:
