Red Seedless Flame GrapesWhat did the grape say when it got stepped on? It let out a little whine… Poor grape. In the FruitGuys cases are Table Grapes grown exclusively for eating. Nurtured on good soil and water – you won’t want to step on these sweet crimson darlings. |

Bosc PearThe 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". |

Snow King White PeachDelicate peaches with pearly flesh have been with us since the 1600s but have only recently become popular. Their super sweetness is associated with the term “sub-acid” – meaning the less acidic, the more sweetness emerges. |

Bartlett PearThe 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.” |
