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.
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.
Earliblue Blueberries
Riverdance Farms, Livingston, CA
A classic northern highbush variety, this is one of the first blueberry varieties to ripen. They are typically large in size and pale in color. Earliblues are mildly flavored and sweet.
Hass Avocados
Sundance Farm, Oceanside, CA
Creamy in texture, nutty in flavor, with a small to medium seed. The Hass skin is easy to peel and darkens from green to purplish-black as it ripens
Valencia Oranges
Sundance Farm, Oceanside, CA
Valencia Oranges are known for their very sweet tasting and brightly colored juice. They are one of the most popular varieties used for bottled juices because of this. Their sweet, bright flavor and minimal seed content (1-6 per orange) and sweet flesh that makes them a perfect snack.
Ruby Grapefruit
Sundance Farm, Oceanside, CA
The Grapefruit is said to cross between the Jamaican sweet orange and the Indonesian pomelo, first documented in 1750.
