Happy Little Trees

While wandering in the produce section, I noticed that there are a lot of fruits on display that I have no idea how to eat or buy. Because I'm on the new and improved healthy eating kick, I've decided that this will be the Summer of Fruit! which will include trying out new fruits.
 
I felt like I was wondering in a foreign land as I examined mangoes and tiny bananas and other things that had weird shapes and skins. The most difficult thing about eating new fruit, is that I don't know how to pick out fruit that is ripe or tell if it's gone bad. And then, when I get it home, how in the world do I eat it?

I was really wishing I had google access in the grocery store. I don't enjoy feeling like a grocery store alien. Normally, I just stick with the bananas, grapes, oranges, and apples, but since it's the Summer of Fruit!, I'm going to be adventurous. I'm hoping that I also won't develop any Summer of Fruit! allergies that might have been lying dormant in my epidermis.
