Fruit Buying Guide – April 2009
April brings us many bumper crops of quality fruit coupled with great pricing! First mention goes to California Strawberries, be sure to catch the smoothie video and also the dinner party recipe for a fresh strawberry Daiquiri! Next is the sweet and juicy Bartlett pear, at its peak of flavor NOW! Repeating a starring role this month is the Navel orange, soon to be finito! So enjoy them NOW! Also in the BFN “limelight” are Key limes, Haden and Kent mangoes, Autumn Royal and Japanese Concord grapes, aka Kyohos. Did you know Mexicans often squeeze lime atop their sliced mango? Do you cut a mango like a “chicano” or a “gringo”? Avoid Tommy Atkins and Ataulfo mangoes and touch a peach and we will make you wear the shameful fruit dunce cap!
Fruit Buying Guide – February 2009
February’s Fruit Buying Guide highlights some fantastic fruits. First we discuss the flavorful Florida Honey Tangerine and the unbelievably juicy Honeybell tangelo! Don’t miss the recipe for a Honey Tangerine Martini. From there, Tommy K gives tips on selecting Chilean grapes and also offers up a bloody good pick. Spanish Clementines are toast but it is time to make a toast to the California AFOUR mandarin, AKA the Delite. For something different, there is a suggestion to dapple in Dapple Dandys and sweeten your day with Lemon Plums.
