Stem & Leaf Satsuma

One of The FruitGuys favorite fruits! This California 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.

Ruby Red 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.

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.

Honeybell Tangerine

Delightful Duncan grapefruit and Dancy tangerine produce the Honeybell Tangerine.. A superb dark orange sometimes called Minneola Tangelo .Its outtie bellybutton is a trademark characteristic and an easy point to start to peel.

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.

Pink Lady Apple

Pink Lady apples are refined and sweet. Their skin ranges from pinky-yellow to red with a green blush. Under it all a creamy flesh, sweet and tart, with a honey taste. They all have the poise of a lady, and yes, that is a dimple underneath.

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 complement to cheese.

Clementine

The Clementine is surely a darling. Developed by Father Clement Rodier from a sweet tangerine and the somewhat bitter Seville orange. A zipper peel with few seeds and tangy taste.

Gala Apple

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

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.
