Pacific Rose AppleSometimes called the New Zealand Rose Apple, it is similar to the Fuji but hails from a Gala-Splendor blend. Limited acreage makes these apples a special treat. Red and crisp, the flesh browns a little when oxidized. That's cracker, mate! |

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. |

D’Anjou PearWobbly 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. |

Satsuma MandarinOne of The FruitGuys favorites! This Californian 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. |

Hayward KiwiWhat 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. |

Tommy Atkins MangoThe sun princess Surya Bai transformed into the mango. And that is why a bite of mango can melt a foggy Monday morning. Or put a salsa beat into your typing. There are numerous ways to cut a mango. Secure with a fork and peel. Or cut fat sections close to the pit, score the flesh into cubes and scoop away from the skin. |

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. |

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. |
