How do these do with cut up fruit, such as watermelon or strawberries?

They work well as long as the fruit is dry when you put it in. Don't wash beforehand. If they are a little dampish from being ripe, I sometimes put a piece of paper towel in with them.

I have not used them for cut-up fruit and find that my strawberries will last for up to 2 weeks in these if I simply wash them and leave them intact, including the green little leaves at the top (in other words, do not hull them) until I am ready to use them

I don't know about cut up strawberries, but for whole strawberries are great. Watermelon keeps well too.

In regards to J.Hammers reply that you can cut them. On others it specifically says do not use with sharp objects, if cut or torn to dispose of because they have fiberglass lining on them and that could get into your food when cut.

What kind of fruit? I put in five average size strawberries cut in quarters.

Chop them into smaller pieces but they don't have to be chopped too fine. Works well for chopping carrots!

I cannot think of a fruit large enough to work. I suppose they would cut soft fruit with the density of play dough or less.

Sharp. You have to work to make it very sharp. Watermelons? No prob. Lemons and oranges tossed in the air? Yes depending on your skill.

I would cut the fruit, it would cut down on the time they needed to juice. I like to use the pulp from the fruit to make fruit leather in my dehydrator, which is really yummy and nothing goes to waste. So, I always stone the fruit and cut out any bad parts when I am planning on using the pulp. I hope this helps!

I have not used this on bananas, only olives, strawberries and mushrooms it works great on these.

My wife purchased these for our toddler to help her with fun stuff in the kitchen, but she wouldn't recommend them for cutting fruit.

I did not try. I used them to go around the base of my newly planted fruit trees. It definitely keeps the weeds at bay. Plus , the hole allows for trunk growth. don't know why you want to cut it.

We use our juicer for pomegranates cutting them in half before putting them on the juicer. The ones larger than 4 inches in diameter we cut in quarters because they juice better that way.

I've used them on strawberries, melons, and bananas. I think they would even go through the skin on an apple.

Of course not. Why would it? Once the insides of the fruit is cut open, you already start losing nutrients. You also lose the pulp that comes out the other end.

Sure，but u need cut these first. This is not enough for whole fruit one time. The only hard thing for me, just clean it after use.

I have not tried that but the blade is very sharp. I use it mainly to make fresh fruit smoothies and it works great.

I use mine mostly for lemon water. I will leave the whole cut lemon in for a day and then drink it within a day or two with the lemons still in the container. I have used berries and pineapple before but remove them after a day because they get soggy. I don't reuse the fruit.

I use mine for green vegetable smoothies. I do cut up hard veggie and fruits. Start with the hard stuff, then the greens.
