Ruby Red Grapefruit

Bright with wake-up colors and taste, red grapefruits are an excellent source of vitamin C, lycopene, potassium, and fiber.  Read your medication labels, though - grapefruit can interfere with the enzymes that break down various drugs in the digestive system - including certain calcium channel blockers and cholesterol-lowering drugs.

Pink Lady Apple

Pink Lady apples are refined and sweet. Their skin ranges from pinky-yellow to red with a green blush. Under it all a creamy flesh, sweet and tart, with a honey taste. They all have the poise of a lady, and yes, that is a dimple underneath.

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 complement to cheese.

Fuji Apple

Bred in Japan in the 1930s, the Fuji was grafted from Virginian apple royalty Rawls Jennet and Iowa’s Red Delicious. Extremely popular in Japan and the USA. About the size of a baseball (yakyuu no booru), this apple is sweet and delicious.

Washington

Gala Apple

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

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.

Hass Avocado

The Resplendent Quetzal bird has vibrant color and a three foot long train. Its domain is the cloud forest and it sups on avocados. Slice open an avocado, knock out the pit, scoop up the velvety flesh, and let this fruit take you from the office into an exotic jungle.

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.

Clementine

The Clementine is surely a darling. Developed by Father Clement Rodier from a sweet tangerine and the somewhat bitter Seville orange. A zipper peel with few seeds and tangy taste.

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.”

Bosc Pear

The elegant Bosc pear is distinguished by its dark gold skin and cinnamon russeting. These pear's ancestors hail from Belgium and so speak Walloon. To check for ripeness, first greet your pear "Diè wåde, comint vos dalez?". Then gently press the stem end, a slight yield means it's ripe. Slice or eat in the hand and bid "Arvèy."

Honeybell Tangerine

Delightful Duncan grapefruit and Dancy tangerine produce the Honeybell Tangerine.. A superb dark orange sometimes called Minneola Tangelo .Its outtie bellybutton is a trademark characteristic and an easy point to start to peel.

Blueberries

Fats Domino found his thrill on blueberry hill, and the FruitGuys are thrilled to offer these. Blueberries are power packed with nutrients. Add some sweet notes to your yogurt or coffee-cart granola by tossing in a few of these real-deal berries.

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 out green (or yellow) flesh with a spoon.

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.
