Red Flame Grapefruit
Cutting a Red Flame in half and behold the pallet of sunrise colors. Bright wake up colors and taste. Red grapefruits are an excellent source of Vit C, lycopene and fiber.
Sunburst Tangerine
Take a bright winter day, one sunny bench, eyes closed turn your face to the sun. Do you see orange? The sun is the best source of Vit D, limited exposure of 5-20 min. 2 x week - depending on latitude. Tangerines have 87% of your Daily Value of Vit C.
Clementine
In Arabic Kalamintina "originally an accidental hybrid said to have been discovered by Father Clément Rodier in the garden of his orphanage in Misserghin, near Oran, Algeria.". A sweet neat and petite little treat.
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.
Pink Lady Apple
Red with green blush. This apple has a dimple underneath. It is sweet and tart.
Fuji Apple
A firm and crisp green apple. When you think of the traditional tart apple, Granny Smith is it. Refreshing and a wonderful compliment to cheese. Our Fuji apples come from an Organic California farm. We've found that this crop tends to be consistently sweeter than others we have sampled. The Fuji is a very popular sweet apple.
Granny Smith Apple
A firm and crisp green apple. When you think of the traditional tart apple, Granny Smith is it. Refreshing and a wonderful compliment to cheese.
Braeburn Apple
Braeburn apples are cris-p! A sweet and tart apple with yellow flesh. Orange to reddening skin so thin skin seems to disappear.
Bananas
Did you know that Bananas are really a giant herb? The "trunk" of this perennial plant is formed of woven and twisted outer leaves from which emerges a stalk. It takes 10-15 months for the bananas to develop. Our philosophy on ripening is that we want to bring fruit to you that is at the beginning of the "breaking point" of ripeness. Banana ripening is an art and is divided into 6 color stages. The FruitGuys perfect banana is a stage 5 -- yellow with green tips. At this stage the banana will be sweet and firm. People have different tastes and we try to provide clients with the widest choice of ripening range.
Enjoy and be fruitful!
