Pixie Tangerine

“The World is very old, but every Spring, it groweth young again, and fairies sing.”(Flower Fairies of the Spring, 1923) These sweet spring time treats pop up to the clarion call that Father Winter has gone back to sleep.

Piñata Apple

This new apple variety is a party all on its own. Not only does it have a palatal nasal "n" in its name, it has taste. Bred from the fragrant Cox Orange Pippin, the sweet Golden Delicious, and the tart Duchess of Oldenburg - this apple is sure to be a hit.

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.

Moro Blood Orange

Don’t be alarmed by this fruit’s blood red interior. The taste is excellent — think orange with a tart hint of berry. Blood Oranges are native to the Mediterranean.

Carrots

Closely related to fennel and parsley, the carrot is an aromatic vegetable. Its combination with celery and onion in mirepoix (a combination of 25% chopped carrots, 25% chopped celery, and 50% chopped onions) is the flavor foundation for many dishes. Use the green carrot tops in stock as well.

Red Onion

Milder and sweeter than white or yellow onions, red onions lend themselves well for use raw, but also cook up sweet. The red color is particular to its cultivar and indicates that they are high in flavonoids.

Brussels Sprouts

Brussels for your muscles! High in vitamin K, C and fiber, Brussels Sprouts also contain the sulphur compound sulforaphane, a powerful glucosinolate phytonutrient formed when cruciferous vegetables such as are chopped or chewed.  It is known to trigger the liver to produce enzymes that detoxify cancer-causing chemicals.
