Cameo Apple

Cameo apples made their first appearance as a little stray seeding in an orchard in the upper left corner of Washington state. Cameos are tart and aromatic with stripy skin. Alfred Hitchcock was the king of cameos, popping onscreen in 39 of his 52 movies. The Cameo is sure to be the apple everyone is watching for when the fruit arrives.

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.

Sun River, Visalia CA

Stem & Leaf Satsuma

One of The FruitGuys favorite fruits! This California mandarin is seedless and super easy to peel and eat. It has a "zipper" skin which can look bumpy and feel soft. However, it is normal and makes the removal of the skin a snap. Just gently push your thumb into the bottom of the fruit and "zip" the skin off. Break apart the wedges and pop in your mouth. It's a sweet treat with a less acidic bite than other citrus. Satsumas often have a soft and puffy peel when fully ripe, so don't miss out on their juicy sweetness.

Visalia Citrus, Woodlake CA

Cara Cara Orange

What looks like a regular orange on the outside may be a Cara Cara once peeled. This normal-looking Californian orange has a pink flesh inside and a refreshing taste that is orange, but with something more.

IMG Citrus, Woodlake CA

Temple Tangor

The Temple Tangor is a tangerine and orange cross; also known as the Royal Mandarin. Loose skin for easy peeling and sweet pulp with a hint of spice. Oranges are often seen on alters and shrines with incense and candles. The orange’s color is bright and they are aesthetically pleasing if the offering is one or many.

Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Woodlake CA

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.

Abe-el Produce, Orisi CA

Moro Blood Orange

Don’t be alarmed by this fruit’s blood red interior. The taste is excellent — think orange with a tart hint of berry. Blood Oranges are native to the Mediterranean.

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.

Red D'Anjou Pear

These beautiful and tasty maroon D'Anjou Pears are an old European style pear. They were discovered in Oregon on a sport of the green D'Anjou variety.

Washington Fruit & Produce Co., Yakima WA

Gala Apple

Sweet and mild. Somewhat thin skinned. Striped. Originated in New Zealand from momma Golden Delicious and poppa Orange Delicious.

Villa Maria Farm, Tierra Amarilla Chile

Red Flame Grapes

What did the grape say when it got stepped on? It let out a little whine… Poor grape. In the FruitGuys cases are table grapes grown exclusively for eating. Nurtured on good soil and water – you won’t want to step on these sweet crimson darlings.

Pichidegua, Chile

Yellow Nectarine

Peaches without the fuzz! Actually, nectarines ARE peaches but contain a recessive gene that makes them a little sweeter. These have a smooth skin.

Agricola Los Boldos, Requinoa Chile

Super Queen White Nectarine

White flesh is "sub-acid", meaning "really sweet.". 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 time.

Ecuador

Cavendish Banana

If you prefer you bananas with pedigree, than the Cavendish is for you. It has peerage - so you may address your banana as Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount - or Baron Banana. But if our banana doesn't come when you call -- then "hey you!" should work. Most bananas we include in our cases are Cavendish bananas.
