Fruit and News of the Week: November 2nd


THIS IS FRUIT

Warren Pear Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA This is Frog Hollow Farm’s signature pear and for good reason. Too difficult to grow for most farmers, it’s never caught on commercially but, Farmer Al has never shied away from putting the time and effort into a fruit that tastes this good. It has a classic European texture – very soft and juicy with a silky sweetness that avoids the typical grittiness found in most pears. Fuyu Persimmons Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA The Fuyu has a crisp texture with a rich honey sweet flavor. They have a beautiful orange to red hue when ripe, often with tiny brown speckles on the skin. They can be eaten out of hand with skin on or peeled. Pomegranate Abounding Harvest, Los Gatos, CA Native to the regions of Persia and the Western Himalayan range, pomegranates have been cultivated for several millennia. When sliced open a beautiful array of jewel-like seeds are displayed. The aril is the colorful casing that surrounds the edible seeds and has a sweet tart flavor. Autumn King Green Seedless Grapes VBZ Grapes, Richgrove, CA This light green grape delights with a large berry size and sweet flavor. Fuji Apple Cuyama, New Cuyama, CA Fujis are a cross between Red Delicious and Ralls Janet, an heirloom apple dating back to Thomas Jefferson.
