    Pomelo fruit - sort of a sweet grapefruit (it's an ancestor) but easy to peel. Pricey and rare in my local grocery store.

    Clementines (mandarins), nectarines, English cucumbers, watermelon, honeydew melon, Hami melon (like cantaloupe but much much better), orange or red sweet bell peppers, celery, cabbage. Spinach, baby kale. Cauliflower.

    If good ones can be found (organic or locally grown): tomato. Most others are nearly tasteless today, though.

    Likewise if good: strawberries, blueberries, certain types of pears, grapes. Local store offerings are often disappointing, though.

    Zucchini and yellow summer squash, unpeeled, raw or cooked. Acorn squash. Butternut squash. Sweet potatoes. Oats made into crackers. Barley likewise.
    Pumpkin seeds, especially roasted so they pop up into little footballs. Peanuts, especially roasted in shell. Cashews. Macadamia nuts. Brazil nuts. Pistachios. Walnuts and pecans. Filberts. Brown basmati rice (smells like popcorn while cooking). Millet. Sweet corn. Whole green beans. Roasted corn (the big crunchy stuff). Popcorn! Popped sorghum (like popcorn but sized for Barbie dolls). Rainier cherries if can catch them floating by briefly. Dates. Coconut. Avocado all by its lovely self. Cinnamon.

    Light red kidney beans. Fordhook lima beans. Garbanzo beans.

    Do pickles count? Sweet or dill pickles are so good with peanut butter, they should be forgiven for being processed cucumbers.

    Green and black olives.

    Better stop. Getting too hungry.

    I love these too! So crunchy and so delish.

    Skyr. So great in so many things. Ramps up the protein and turns down the calories as a sour cream/spread substitute. I love it so much. To me it’s the Mother Theresa of dairy 🙂

    Daikon radishes and regular radishes. Like the flavor and the crunch. Radishes are surprisingly good roasted too.

    I was resistant to roasting them since I love them so much raw, but now I like them both ways.

    Kohlrabi.

    I like all of the summer squashes, and I know they're not all *that* different, but kousa squash IMO is extra good.
