Fruit Staging
Display Fashion
Soft fruits: Arrange across the plate, leaving stalks attached. Smaller soft fruit should be in bunches.
Pears: Arrange around the perimeter of the plate, on their side, with stalks facing inwards.
Apples: In a circular fashion, with the stalk end facing down.
Tomatoes: On a plate with stalks facing upwards.
Berries: In an open bowl, one variety, with an approximate weight of 200g.
General Staging Tips
Paper plates are fine, but reusable "china" plates are better.
Ensure plates and bowls used are clean and chip free
Remove any dirt from entries.
Ensure the produce is neat and tidy and try for it to be blemish free.
