It has a firmer texture than the Santa Rosa with a crisp\u00a0almost crunchy mouthfeel. One of our most hardy fruit, the Emerald Beaut\u00a0just gets sweeter and sweeter without losing texture as it ages.\r\n\r\n<strong>Flavor Heart Pluots<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe Flavor Heart gets its name from its distinctively tapered shape. Its meaty,\u00a0pale yellow flesh is very low in acid and the sweetness and color contrasts\u00a0strikingly with its dark purple almost black skin.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dapple Dandy Pluots<\/strong>\r\n\r\nPlayfully called the \"dinosaur egg\" pluot, the Dapple Dandy has marbled pink\u00a0and green skin over delicate white flesh threaded with rose. Kids especially love\u00a0this pluot for its distinctive coloration and the lack of tartness in the skin.\r\n\r\n<strong>Hosui Pears<\/strong>\r\n\r\nHosui have flesh, that while still crunchy has a more melting mouthful,\u00a0making the texture combination when eaten out of hand spectacular. Very juicy\u00a0and sweet with a milder pear taste, their round shape and beautiful golden hue\u00a0make them ideal for presentation with a distinctively Autumnal feel.\r\n\r\n<strong>Shinseiki Pears<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAsian pears are also known as \"apple pears\" as they're often described as having the texture and shape of the apple but with the smooth sweetness of a pear.\u00a0Botanically, they're true pears and are native to China and Japan. The Shinseiki\u00a0is medium-sized pear with smooth yellow skin. They're nicely crisp with a\u00a0sweet white flesh that's refreshingly juicy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Shinko Pears<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe Shinko is a large pear with its round shape slightly flattened. The skin is\u00a0bronze with brown russeting and its juicy, creamy white flesh has a subtly rich\u00a0flavor. One of the last pears to pick, it comes off the tree with a butterscotch\u00a0note to its sweetness. Shinkos are harvested in mid-September.\r\n\r\n<strong>Hass Avocados<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em> Abounding Harvest, Los Gatos, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nCreamy in texture, nutty in flavor, with a small to medium seed. The Hass skin\u00a0is easy to peel and darkens from green to purplish-black as it ripens. Store on\u00a0the counter out of direct sunlight.\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS WEEK&#8217;S FRUIT Emerald Beaut Plums A freestone plum, the Emerald Beaut is a delicate green that turns golden with\u00a0a hint of a blush.
