California	Valencia Orange Citrus waves are rolling in like an endless summer, brah. The primo Valencia is old-school orange. A tangy treat to take down the hall to the dawn patrol. Slice into sections for orange smiles all around – and let the sunshine in!
California	Red Plum This red plum variety has a unique appearance with sweet, juicy red flesh. Red plum, red plum, red plum. All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy. Take a fruit break today.
California	Yellow Peach Peaches were probably first domesticated about 4000 years ago in China. By cultivating and passing the knowledge and seedlings down the Silk Road we now benefit from thousands of varieties of peaches. Mark Twain reminds us: “Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education."
California	White Peach Delicate peaches with pearly flesh have been with us since the 1600s but have only recently become popular. Their super sweetness is associated with the term “sub-acid” – meaning the less acidic, the more sweetness emerges.
California	White Nectarine Peaches with out the fuzz! Actually, nectarines ARE peaches but with a recessive gene that makes them a little sweeter and with a smooth skin. Cut down the seam, twist and separate: with one bite you can prove Mendel’s genetics and enjoy a sweet-tasting fruit at the same.
California	Bartlett Pear The dear Bartlett pear was originated in Berkshire England by a schoolmaster named Stair. He sold his cuttings to a horticulturist called Williams, who gave this new pear his name. When the pear immigrated to the New World, a nurseryman called Bartlett laid claim to the fruit. So English folk may know this pear as Williams, and Americans as Bartlett. And they say “paaahr”, and we say “pear.”
New Zealand	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.
Chile	Braeburn Apple Braeburn apples are cris-p! A sweet and tart apple with yellow flesh and an orange to red skin so thin it melts in your mouth.
Guatamala	Banana Here at the FruitGuys, we like to dress up like bananas, because we love bananas! A perfect food, only 110 calories, 4g fiber and 1g of protein and high in potassium and Vitamin C. We love the elegant and easy-to-open packaging. Plus you can use a banana to make silly phone calls.
Chile	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.
Chile	Gala Apple Sweet and mild. Somewhat thin skinned. Striped. Originated in New Zealand from momma Golden Delicious and poppa Orange Delicious.
