Royal Mandarin

Royal Mandarin is a tangerine and orange cross; also know as the Temple Orange. 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 ascetically pleasing if the offering is one or many.

Ruby 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.

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".

Cameo Apple

Cameo 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. Sure to be the apple everyone is watching for when The FruitGuys box arrives.

Kiwi

It is sometimes referred to as Honeybell. Its sweet tangerine parentage brings out the best and most refreshing parts of its grapefruit line.
