Central US Organic fruit mix

 

crimson grapesORGANIC Crimson Grapes
"Hail noble fruit" Homer sang. But did he know that modern scientists have put grapes on the Big Fruit Throne for their polyphenols. Scientists at Cornell have rated fruits and veggies for their bioactivity index and the skin and seeds of the grape are excellent.

  

 

kiwi

ORGANIC Kiwi
What fruit has the vitamin C of an orange, the potassium of half a banana, and the fiber of a half-cup of bran flakes? Hint: It's furry. Answer: Kiwi. Enjoy kiwis by peeling or simply cut latitudinally and scoop our green (or yellow) flesh with a spoon.

 

ambrosia appleORGANIC Ambrosia Apple
Food of the Gods. The Goddess of Strife Eris chucked a golden apple at Athena, Aphrodite and Hera (no schleps here) with the message "for the fairest." A fight breaks out like a foul ball in the stands at Shea. Zeus settles it by getting poor Paris to judge. The FruitGuys stay out of those kinda contests... Ambrosia, nice apple what do you think?


pink lady appleORGANIC Pink Lady Apple
Pink Lady apples are refined and sweet, creamy flesh under pink over yellow skin. They have all the poise of a lady, with a honey taste that'll have you kicking up your heels.

 

fuji appleORGANIC Fuji Apple
In the 1930s the Fuji apple was bred in Japan. Grafted from Virginian royalty Rawls Jennet and Iowa's Red Delicious, it has become an extremely popular apple in Japan. About the size of a baseball (yakyu) this apple is sweet and delicious (umai).

 

 

grannysmith appleORGANIC Granny Smith Apple
A firm and crisp green apple. When you think of the traditional tart apple, Granny Smith is it. Refreshing and a wonderful compliment to cheese.

 

 

navel orange: fresh fruitORGANIC Valencia Orange
In 1841 people thought William Wilfskill was plum crazy when he planted a Valencia orange tree, but Will was a ranchero who knew his agronomy. The Valencia is the King of Juice Oranges and a fine slicer. The Valencia "re-greens" as it ripens on the tree, green near the stem is normal.

 


comice pearORGANIC Comice Pear              
The Doyenne Du Comice was developed in France in the mid 1800's. It is widely grown on the west coast. It can be recognized by its bulbous shape and dimple underneath. It has a green color when firm and turns light yellow as it ripens. When ripe it will have a wonderfully smooth and juicy texture with a lemony-pear taste.

 

hosui asian pearORGANIC Hosui Asian Pear
Apple-pears or pear-apples. Asian pear describes large group of Asian pear varieties. The pears come from Chinese stock and planted in new homeland soils. Asian pears are characteristically crisp.

 

 

tosca pearORGANIC Tosca Pear
Puccini and Verdi were having a working lunch, writing the libretto for a new opera. They mused over what to call the heroine as they munched slices of aromatic green pears. Hmmmmmm...

 

 

bananas: fruit guysORGANIC Bananas
Did you know that Bananas are really a giant herb? The "trunk" of this perennial plant is formed of woven and twisted outer leaves from which emerges a stalk. It takes 10-15 months for the bananas to develop. Our philosophy on ripening is that we want to bring fruit to you that is at the beginning of the "breaking point" of ripeness. Banana ripening is an art and is divided into 6 color stages. The FruitGuys perfect banana is a stage 5 -- yellow with green tips. At this stage the banana will be sweet and firm. People have different tastes and we try to provide clients with the widest choice of ripening range.

 

Enjoy and be fruitful!
