Fruit and News of the Week : June 1st

THIS WEEK’S FRUIT

Robada Apricots Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA Our stone fruit season has fully arrived when the Robadas are ready to pick. A large and robust apricot, the Robada has a particularly vibrant blush that makes the fruit seem to glow on the branch, almost like tiny Japanese lanterns lit from within. Cot -n- Candy Apricots Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA A white fleshed aprium developed by renownded plant breeder Floyd Zaiger. Characteristic of white fleshed stone fruit, these apriums have a more subtle sweetness than orange varieties, but with notes of honeydew, they are sure to please. These delicate fruits bruise easily, so handle with care. Crimson Lady Peaches Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA The Crimson Lady is one of the first varieties off the tree. It has a firm texture that is more springy than meltingly juicy and where some palates may find it less desirable for eating out of hand, when dried it is uniquely chewy and delicious. June Glo Nectarines Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA An early season ( June 1st!), yellow fleshed nectarine that is semi-freestone and full of flavor. Another great fruit by Flyod Zaiger.
