Cameo AppleCameo 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. |

Stem & Leaf SatsumaOne 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. |

Cara Cara OrangeWhat 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. |

Temple TangorThe 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. |

Moro Blood OrangeDon’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 PearThe 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. |

Cavendish BananaIf 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. |
