ORGANIC Green Grapes
"Hail noble fruit" Homer sang. But did he know that modern scientists have put grapes on the Big Fruit Throne for their polyphenols. Scientists at Cornell have rated fruits and veggies for their bioactivity index and the skin and seeds of the grape are excellent.
ORGANIC Black Plums
There are as many as 200 cultivars of European and Asian plums. Plums are high in fiber and low in sugars, an ideal snack.
ORGANIC Dapple Dandy Pluot
A sweet plum-apricot flavored pluot. Beautifully dappled in red and green this freestone is a dandy. Ogden Nash's poesy goes: "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker". Fruit-fans know that fruit contain fiber and complex sugars for sustained energy versus candy's empty calories.
ORGANIC White Nectarine
Cut down the seam, twist and separate: with one bite you can prove Mendel's genetics and enjoy a sweet-tasting fruit at the same time.
ORGANIC Yellow Peaches
Peaches hail from the ancient China. They were borne along the Silk Road by the Persians - that's how they got the latin name Prunus persica.
ORGANIC White Peach
The ancient Chinese believed that peaches could confer immortality, but the FruitGuys only promise that they're high in antioxidants Vitamin A and C.
ORGANIC Valencia Orange
Citrus waves are rolling in like an endless summer, brah. The primo Valencia is old-school orange. A tangy treat to take down the hall to the dawn patrol. Slice into sections for orange smiles all around - and let the sunshine in!
ORGANIC Kiwi
What fruit has the vitamin C of an orange, the potassium of half a banana, and the fiber of a half-cup of bran flakes? Hint: It's furry. Answer: Kiwi. Enjoy kiwis by peeling or simply cut latitudinally and scoop our green (or yellow) flesh with a spoon.
ORGANIC Grapefruit
There should be more cowboy songs about Texas Grapefruit. There are songs about the purple hills and the sagebrush. Grown along the Rio Grand these tangy grapefruits will make you kick up yer heels and yodel.
ORGANIC Green Bartlett Pear
The dear Bartlett pear was originated in Berkshire England by a schoolmaster named Stair. He sold his cuttings to a horticulturist called Williams, who gave this new pear his name. When the pear immigrated to the New World, a nurseryman called Bartlett laid claim to the fruit. So English folk may know this pear as Williams, and Americans as Bartlett. And they say “paaahr”, and we say “pear.”
ORGANIC Fuji Apple
In the 1930s the Fuji apple was bred in Japan. Grafted from Virginian royalty Rawls Jennet and Iowa's Red Delicious, it has become an extremely popular apple in Japan. About the size of a baseball (yakyuu no booru) this apple is sweet and delicious.
ORGANIC Bananas
Here at the FruitGuys we like to dress up like bananas, because we love bananas. A perfect food, only 110 calories, 4 grams of fiber and 1 gram of protein and high in potassium and Vitamin C. We love the elegant and easy to open packaging. Plus you can use a banana to make silly phone calls.
