1. Pineapple

preparing fresh pineapple looks as prickly as the fruit's shell, but the process is controllable and worthy of effort. A cup of fresh pineapple block contains more than 100% vitamin C of daily value, rich in mineral manganese and anti-inflammatory enzyme bromelain. To cut, set it aside, cut off the top and cut a quarter inch slice from the bottom to form a flat bottom. Cut off the skin on both sides and remove as little meat as possible. If you think it's too harsh outside, put on your kitchen gloves. For rings, cut an inch piece from one end to the other and carefully cut the inner core out of each round. To make a big piece, pineapple should be cut into two inch slices. These parts are then stacked and cut into pieces.

2. Mango

mango is an important source of vitamin A and C, both of which provide strong antioxidant effect. You can peel, slice and enjoy the mango, or add it to smoothie, yogurt, cereal or salad. Before you go in, cut a small piece from the bottom so you can keep it stable. To remove the pit, cut a large piece of meat half an inch from the center. All the time. Next, cut the line from one side of each section to the other. Then cut the line equidistant in the opposite direction to form a checkerboard grid. Cut your slices deep, but don't peel them. To release the fruit, cut the squares off the peel.

3. The interesting thing about pomegranate: seeds are the only edible part of fruit. But they are rich in vitamin C, potassium and antioxidants. Half cup seeds also provide 3.5G fiber, which helps control appetite, digestive function and heart health.

using a sharp knife, cut 1 to 2 inches and immerse the fruit in a bowl of cold water. Gently separate the seed from the membrane, taking care not to burst the seed. The seed will sink and the membrane will float. Remove the film and seeds with a slotted spoon. Wash the seeds in a spoon. Finally, store the seeds in a sealed container in the refrigerator, or freeze them to add to the heart healthy smoothie.

4. Grapefruit

when many people peel grapefruit like an orange, it is an ideal choice to make a film-free slice with a knife. It can remove the excess membrane (bitter white part) and leave the smooth and juicy part. First, cut grapefruit into two parts and lay it flat on the cutting board. Remove the skin and leave the fruit as complete as possible. If the white cord is still there, peel it off with your fingers or a peeler. Next, put forward each paragraph. Think of the process as removing pages from a book. Repeat this process until you finally get a loose "book" film with fruit removed. If you don't mind, skip the last step and remove only the thicker rope. The credit: Valentine Volkov / iStock / gettyimages

5. One cup of fresh cut guava can provide more than 6 times of daily vitamin C value, which is the best choice for cold and flu season. Guava also provides a large amount of vitamin B-6, potassium and protein, which is easy to prepare for a tropical and unusual fruit. Starting with a very mature guava, cut the fruit into quarters, remove any seeds, and peel with a knife or vegetable peeler. Eat guava yourself, or add juicy, tasty food to smoothies and salads.
