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.

Blair Losvar Farms, Loomis WA

Pacific Rose Apple

Sometimes 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!

Organic
Deer Creek Heights Ranch, 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.

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.

TDE Tangerine

This fruit is an unusual triple cross of a Temple tangor, a Dancy mandarin and an Encore mandarin. Not just double good, triple good.

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.

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.

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.

Gala Apple

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

Organic
France Ranch, Porterville CA

Satsuma Mandarin

One 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.

Chiechi Farms, Gridley CA

Hayward 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.

Organic
Earthbound Organic Farm, Peru

Tommy Atkins Mango

The 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.

Organic
Deer Creek Heights Ranch, Vialia 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.

Organic
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.
