Ruby Red GrapefruitBright 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. |

Cameo AppleCameo 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. The Cameo is sure to be the apple everyone is watching for when the fruit arrives. |
