ORGANIC Packham Pear
Rumpled. A good poetic word. Rumpole of the Bailey. Rumbly, bumpy, bulbous, gibbosic. Peckhams' are sweet pears, with character. Each a little askew like that friendly odd fellow at the bus stop. This pear's parentage is Bartlett and Yvedale Saint-Germain. It softens as it ripens.
REGIONAL Navel Orange
An orange with an Innie. Navels are aptly named. Native to Brazil, they've been cultivated in Riverside CA since the dawn of the citrus boom in the 1870s. Easy to peel and breaks into sections superbly, this orange is practically seedless. Cruz Farms, Porterville CA.
ORGANIC Pink Lady® Apple
Red with green blush. This apple has a dimple underneath. It is sweet and tart.
Gala Apple
Sweet and mild. Somewhat thin skinned. Striped. Hails from New Zealand, from momma Golden and poppa Orange Delicious.
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.
Braeburn Apple
Braeburn apples are cris-p! A sweet and tart apple with yellow flesh. Orange to reddening skin so thin skin seems to disappear.
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 (yakyuu no booru,) this apple is sweet and delicious (oishii.)
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!
