Washington	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.”
Cruz Farms, Porterville CA	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.	Regional Organic
White Tiger, Visalia 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.	Regional
Cruz Farms, Porterville CA	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.	Regional
Meyer Orchards, Talent Oregon	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."
Paramount Citrus, Delano CA	Minneola Tangelo What do you get when you cross a Duncan Grapefruit and Dancy Tangerine? The Minneola Tangelo. This dark orange piece of California-grown fruit is easily recognized by the nib protruding from its end. It is sometimes referred to as Honeybell. Its sweet tangerine parentage brings out the best and most refreshing parts of its grapefruit line.	Regional
Wil-Ker-Son Ranch, Gridley CA	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.
Cruz Farms, Porterville 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.	Regional Organic
Washington	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.
Meyer Orchards, Talent OR	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.
Chile	Dapple Dandy Pluot A sweet plum-apricot flavored pluot. Beautifully dappled skin. These pluots contain fiber and complex sugars for sustained energy, and the taste is amazing.
Duckwall Farm, Hood River OR	D’Anjou Pear Wobbly but won't fall down. These lovely green (or poire verte) D'Anjou Pears have their roots in Angers, France. You can tell when it is ready by squeezing it delicately. Pears ripen from the inside out so if it gives to your touch, it is ready.
Washington	Jazz Apple B.B. King says, “Jazz is the big brother of the blues. If a guy’s playing blues like we play, he’s in high school. When he starts playing jazz it’s like going on to college, to a school of higher learning.” And the Jazz Apple is a highly-educated apple. Hybridized with great prospects, from Braeburn and Gala parentage, this apple of New Zealand origin gets straight A-s for sweetness and texture.
Meyer Orchards, Talent Oregon	Forelle Pear Forelle means trout in German. Here "forelle" describes the trout characteristic of a speckled blush (the pear's red lenticels), not taste. Plus it has got a great rolling "r", and rotpunktiertebirnenshulter just doesn't flow. These little darlings have grainy flesh and a wonderful pear perfume.
Canada	Ambrosia Apple Eris, the Goddess of Strife, chucked a golden apple at Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera with the message, "For the fairest." A fight breaks out like a foul ball in the stands at Shea Stadium. Zeus settles it by getting poor Paris to judge. The FruitGuys stays out of those kinda contests... Ambrosia apple, food of the gods.
Washington	Gala Apple Sweet and mild. Somewhat thin skinned. Striped. Originated in New Zealand from momma Golden Delicious and poppa Orange Delicious.
Ecuador	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.
