The\u00a0flesh of the blood orange is firmer and more dense than an orange and its flavor is a\u00a0little more tart. These beauties sweeten and darken in color as the season progresses.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pink Lady Apple<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Cuyama Farm, New Cuyama, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nA cross between the Golden Delicious and Lady Williams, the Pink Lady is a crisp\u00a0and juicy apple with a tart finish. Pink skins and a creamy white colored flesh that\u00a0resists browning make this an excellent apple for salads and slicing.\r\n\r\n<strong>Fuji Apples<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Cuyama Farm, New Cuyama, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nFujis are a cross between Red Delicious and Ralls Janet, an heirloom apple dating back\u00a0to Thomas Jefferson. Fujis are loved by many for their crisp, sweet, and juicy character.\r\n\r\n<strong>Navel Oranges<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Twin Girl Farm, Yettem, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nCalifornia Navel Oranges are considered to be the best Navels for eating out of hand.\u00a0They have a thick skin that is easy to peel, are seedless and have a meaty and sweet\u00a0flesh that makes them a perfect snack. Navels are also great for juicing and cooking.\r\n\r\n<strong>Hayward Kiwis<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Chiechi Farm, Live Oak, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nOriginally known as the Chinese gooseberry due to its Chinese origins. Hawyward\u00a0Wright, a New Zealand nurseryman propagated his plants by grafting, and they eventually became the preferred cultivar of growers due to their sweet flavor and thin skin.\r\n\r\n<strong>Owari Satsuma Mandarins<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Abounding Harvest Mounain Farm, Los Gatos, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nSatsumas are typically seedless with a thin skin that is loosely attached to the flesh\u00a0making them very easy to peel. The flesh of the mandarin is very sweet and delicate\u00a0leaving them susceptible to bruising, so handle with care. Do not place other fruits on\u00a0top of the mandarins.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ruby Grapefruit<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Sundance Natural, Oceanside, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nThe Grapefruit is said to cross between the Jamaican sweet orange and the Indonesian\u00a0pomelo, first documented in 1750. Ruby grapefruit was an accidental discovery of a red\u00a0fruit growing on a pink grapefruit tree.\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS WEEK&#8217;S FRUIT Tarocco Blood Orange Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA A beautiful orange to deep red flesh is revealed when you slice open a Tarocco.
