Etymology

The term 'cored' originates from the Middle English word 'cor', which means the central part or the heart of a fruit. This is derived from the Old French 'coeur', meaning 'heart'. The practice of coring fruits and vegetables dates back to ancient times, as cooks sought ways to remove inedible or undesirable parts of food items to enhance their palatability. With advancements in kitchen tools, the method of coring has become more efficient, allowing for better presentation and easier consumption of various foods. In modern culinary arts, coring has become a common technique, especially in preparing fruit for desserts, salads, and other dishes. It reflects an understanding of both aesthetics and functionality in food preparation.
