Pleasant Valley Ranch, Springfield CA	Minneola Tangelo What do you get when you cross a Duncan Grapefruit and Dancy Tangerine? The Minneola Tangelo. This dark orange piece of California-grown fruit is easily recognized by the nib protruding from its end. It is sometimes referred to as Honeybell. Its sweet tangerine parentage brings out the best and most refreshing parts of its grapefruit line.	Regional Organic
ALBA Organics, Salinas CA	Eureka Lemon The exclamation "Eureka" (I found it) is attributed to Archimedes, who said it upon suddenly discovering a method of finding out how much gold of King Hiero's crown had been alloyed. Eureka Lemons have gen-u-ine lemon taste and are great for all your lemon needs from juice to zest.	Regional Organic
Blue Bird Farm, Washington	Bosc Pear The elegant Bosc pear is distinguished by its dark gold skin and cinnamon russeting. These pear's ancestors hail from Belgium and so speak Walloon. To check for ripeness, first greet your pear "Diè wåde, comint vos dalez?". Then gently press the stem end, a slight yield means it's ripe. Slice or eat in the hand and bid "Arvèy."	Regional Organic
Fresno, CA	Honey Tangerine The Honey Tangerine is a tangor – a cross of tangerine and regular-size orange. Tangerines are mandarins so they could also be called mangors – but that sounds too much like an enemy of Godzilla.	Regional Organic
Budell Farms, Reedley CA	W. Murcott W. Murcott is what is known as a tangor - a cross between a tangerine (mandarin) and an orange. W. Murcott and Honey Murcotts make you work a bit harder to peel and contain a few seeds, but pay off with juice and flavor.	Regional Organic
Washington	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.	Regional Organic
Cuyama Orchards, Cuyama Valley CA	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.	Regional Organic
Las Palmalitas, Carpinteria CA	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.	Regional Organic
Washington	Gala Apple Sweet and mild. Somewhat thin skinned. Striped. Originated in New Zealand from momma Golden Delicious and poppa Orange Delicious.	Regional Organic
Aptos Kiwi Farm, Aptos CA	Kiwi What fruit has the vitamin C of an orange, the potassium of half a banana, and the fiber of a half-cup of bran flakes? Hint: It's furry. Answer: Kiwi. Enjoy kiwis by peeling or simply cut latitudinally and scoop out green (or yellow) flesh with a spoon.	Regional Organic
Washington	D’Anjou Pear Wobbly but won't fall down. These lovely green (or poire verte) D'Anjou Pears have their roots in Angers, France. You can tell when it is ready by squeezing it delicately. Pears ripen from the inside out so if it gives to your touch, it is ready.	Regional Organic
