Ruby grapefruit was an accidental discovery of a red\u00a0Sundance Organic, Oceanside, CA\u00a0fruit growing on a pink grapefruit tree.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tarocco Blood Orange<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nA beautiful orange to deep red flesh is revealed when you slice open a Tarocco. 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>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>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 even- tually 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>Zutano Avocados<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Sundance, Oceanside, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nRecognizable by their shiny, thin yellow-green skin, the pear-shaped fruits are creamy \u00a0and rich.\r\n\r\n<strong>Minneola<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Sundance, Oceanside, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nThe Tangelo is a cross between a mandarin and grapefruit. Its skin is easy to peel and\u00a0its flesh is a deep orange, tender and juicy with a rich and sweet flavor.\r\n\r\n<strong>Golden Nuggets<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Sundance, Oceanside, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nAppearances aren\u2019t everything. The bumpy peel of the Gold Nugget givesway to a \u00a0flesh that makes them a perfect snack.\r\n\r\n<strong>Jincheng Oranges<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Abounding Harvest Mounain Farm, Los Gatos, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nJinchengs have skins that are easy to peel, are seedless and have a meaty and sweet\u00a0richly flavored and sweet tart flesh.\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS WEEK&#8217;S FRUIT Ruby Grapefruit The Grapefruit is said to cross between the Jamaican sweet orange and the Indonesian\u00a0pomelo, first documented in 1750.
