Food Unwrapped Gets Fruity

Summary

The team delve into some fruity favourites. Jimmy goes to India to investigate pomegranate health claims while Kate finds out why cucumbers are wrapped in so much plastic. Briony finds out how many apples go into one can of cider and why strawberry juice is so elusive in supermarkets. Matt finds out why some fruits are hairy and travels to Spain to discover why some oranges are harder to peel than others

Review

Jane Rackham

Jimmy Doherty and his team are not being especially saucy in this edition, so presumably the title is simply a ploy to draw viewers in. And probably pave the way for some fruit-based puns.

As you have probably guessed, fruits are the topic. Kate Quilton investigates why plastic wrapping is used for cucumbers, Briony May Williams finds out how many apples are needed to produce a can of cider, while Matt Tebbutt visits Spain to discover why it is that some oranges are easy peelers and others are not. Meanwhile, Doherty is in India to find out more about pomegranates – are they really the superfood some believe?
