Yellow Nectarine
Peaches with out the fuzz! Actually, nectarines ARE peaches but with a recessive gene that makes them a little sweeter and with a smooth skin. Cut down the seam, twist and separate: with one bite you can prove Mendel's genetics and enjoy a sweet-tasting fruit at the same. B&L Farms, Kingsburg, CA
Arctic Sweet White Nectarine
Rainier White, White Caps, Dove, Linen, Bone, Blanco, Acoustic White, Eggshell, Sierra, Frost, Arctic. It's no longer simple to pick up a bucket of white paint. Arctic Snow nectarines are white fleshed and low-acid. This freestone is variegated red and green, shiny like an apple - but brother that ain't no apple. Magee Family Farms Patterson, CA
ORGANIC Yellow Peach
The Chinese believed that peaches could confer immortality but the FruitGuys only promise that they're high in antioxidants Vitamin A and C. "Eat a peach" say the Allman Brothers and so do we. B&L Farms. Kingsburg, CA
ORGANIC Cameo Apple
Cameo apples made their first appearance as a little stray seeding in an orchard in the upper left corner of Washington, destined to become a favorite variety. Alfred Hitchcock was the king of cameos, popping on screen in 37 of his movies. Cameo apples are tart and aromatic with stripy skin. Sure to become the apple everyone is watching for when the FruitGuys box arrives. Washington
ORGANIC 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. Washington
ORGANIC Valencia Orange
Citrus waves are rolling in like an endless summer, brah. The primo Valencia is old-school orange. A tangy treat to take down the hall to the dawn patrol. Slice into sections for orange smiles all around - and let the sunshine in! Harpos Organics
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!
