THIS WEEK’S FRUIT
Emerald Beaut Plums
Emerald Beaut is a delicate green that turns golden with a hint of a blush. It has a firmer texture than the Santa Rosa with a crisp almost crunchy mouthfeel. One of our most hardy fruit, the Emerald Beaut just gets sweeter and sweeter without losing texture as it ages.
Warren Pear
The Warren pear has a classic European texture – very soft and juicy – with a silky sweetness that avoids the typical grittiness found in most varieties.
Flavor Treat Pluot
These large, late-season pluots are reddish-purple over tender, yellow flesh that’s extremely juicy. One of our last stone-fruits of the season, the Flavor Treat are a welcome reminder of the height of summer
Pomegranate
Twin Girls Farm, Yettem, CA
These beauties walk a fine line between sweet and tart, and are bursting with antioxidants. Kids often love picking apart the “seeds” to eat, but the trick we like is breaking apart a pom in a bowl of water–the edible bits will sink to the bottom, while the white pith-like parts float to the top! With their distinctive color and flavor, poms are great for juicing or incorporating in sauces for savory dishes.
Fuji Apples
Cuyama, New Cuyama, CA
Fujis are a cross between Red Delicious and Ralls Janet, an heirloom apple dating back to Thomas Jefferson. Fujis are loved by many for their crisp, sweet, and juicy character.
Hass Avocados
Abounding Harvest, Los Gatos, 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. Store on the counter out of direct sunlight.
