Monstera Deliciosa - Norman Van Aken explains: "You owe it to yourself to experience Monsteras."  Used to flavor drinks and ice cream or it can be eaten as a fresh fruit, the ripe part.   Norman Van Aken explains, "People ask me what I do with this fruit. One thing that is wonderful is enjoying it with your cereal in the morning. And the way it ripens a little bit at a time makes the morning thing work too."  MORE ABOUT THE DELICIOUS MONSTER

Sweet Delicious Big Juicy Golden Sweet Costa Rican Pineapples will be in on Wednesday!  They are PRICED RIGHT so get them while available!  These are DELICIOUS!  I personally will guarantee it!  We also have the Sweet Golden Maui Pineapples too but they are more money, as is usual for Maui Pineapples.

Lychees are here!  Sweet and delicious, with a delightful floral aroma in your mouth, they gorgeous red and inviting, very unique in flavor and perfect for summer fun in Florida.  Only available for a limited time, so we should stop to enjoy this tropical summer treat while we can!  These are from right here in Florida so support your local organic farmers while you delight your senses.

Rainier Cherries are only available for a couple months so enjoy while you can!  They are yellow with a pink or red blush and a soft yellow color inside.  They grow plumper than other cherries and they are sweet.   These are considered by many to be THE best cherry! 
 

Bing Cherries are so inviting with their deep mahogany color while being sweet, juicy, and delicious.  They are one of the larger cherries so perfect for snacking.  Indulge, they are also a good source of Vitamin C, beta Carotene and chock full of antioxidants!  The pectin in the cherry helps to regulate blood cholesterol levels.  And PRICED right for summer fun so enjoy them while they are in season!  Munch on them as a snack, add them to your fruit platter or fruit salad, make a cherry pie, make cherry jam, sauté them in some butter and add to yogurt or top ice cream; you can pit them and freeze them too.

Red Seedless & Green Seedless Grapes are abundant, sweet and juicy, and priced well!  Everyone always comments that our grapes are better than the store's - that's because you are getting them so soon after harvest and because we don't store them out on the shelf but in the cooler at optimal temperatures.  Freeze them and enjoy a nice frozen treat on a hot day!

Raspberries are quite aromatic and a real treat and a great value this week!  Decadent, fragrant, sweet and tart with a burst of antioxidants, fiber (that reduces cholesterol), and Vitamin C.  Enjoy them immediately or use your evert-fresh bag.  When you get berries home you should open them onto a paper towel and remove any wet ones.  Make sure they are dry before storing.  Don't get them wet until you're ready to eat them.  These berries also top the list of conventional fruits with the most contamination of pesticides and therefore should only be eaten if organic.  Try them topped on mascarpone cheese and honeys with hazelnuts - yum!

Blueberries are a powerful and versatile fruit full of antioxidants!  We will have a limited supply of FRESH blueberries.  We also have freeze dried, dried, and frozen!  Snack on them, use them in breakfast yogurt or cereal, make them into a  healthy dessert or serve them over ice cream, and we can even add them to our Burgers!  The scientist who discovered the secret power of blueberries, Ronald Prior, PhD, also the head of the USDA Phytochemical Laboratory at Tufts, recommends adding one-half cup of blueberries to our diet every day!

Honeydew Melons and BIG Cantaloupes are sweet and delicious!  Let them ripen (in or out of the refrigerator) until they are fragrant.  We never knew that honeydew could be so sweet and tasty until we had these organic honeydews and now we know how they got their name!
 

Sweet and delicious, your friends and kids won't believe their eyes when you cut this one open - it is a Tiny Orchid Yellow Watermelon!  Juicy too, so get your napkin ready.  Great addition to a fruit salad or to serve as a snack or dessert, or turn into yellow watermelon juice!  Very thin rind (did you know the rind is actually edible too!?) so they don't feel like the usual watermelon (you can't thump them for all those thumpers out there) and the color will surprise you!  We also have Crimson Red Sweet Watermelons, and Red Seedless Watermelons!  Mix them up for a colorful salad or snack!

The sweetest and best tasting Peaches, Apricots, Plums, Pluots, and Nectarines are in stock now that we are well into season.  Best yet, prices have dropped since we're well into season too so take a bite of the taste of summer!  Remember that peaches are on the list of conventional fruits with the most contamination of pesticides and therefore should only be eaten when grown organically.

And don't forget to eat your VEGETABLES!  Prepared correctly, vegetables are delicious!

Broccoli Raab, also called Rabe or Rapini, has saw-tooth edged leaves and little broccoli florets.  It is loved in Italy and China (called Chinese Flowering Cabbage or Choy Sum) and pairs nicely with garlic, olive oil, and tomatoes.  It is a good source of Vitamin C, Beta Carotene, Fiber,  and Antioxidants to help ward off cancer.  It is a delicious green that is easy to prepare.  It has a nice bite to it.  If your shy of the slight bitterness, then blanch it first (plunge into boiling water for a minute and then plunge into ice water to hold the color) before preparing.  Trim, chop and sauté in garlic and olive oil as a side dish (it's a little bitter, so you may want to add some raisins too) and a splash of vinegar (balsamic works well) and maybe some toasted pine nuts or walnuts.  You can also add it to tomato sauces and stews, add it to pasta (maybe with some sundried tomatoes!), cut it up and mash it (Kale is also great for this) with potatoes, steam it, or braise it.  It doesn't need long to cook.  Try a Broccoli Raab and Fontina Cheese Omelet or Braised Broccoli Raab.  Serve it at room temperature as a salad or warm as a side dish or part of the meal.

Blue Lake Beans, Green Beans, Fresh English Peas, Sugar Snap Peas, Snow Peas,  are in stock, fresh, sweet, priced well, and very delicious.  Check our site for recipes and new ways to prepare these delicious peas and beans! 

Zucchini are perfect, plentiful and priced well!  Plus, so versatile!  They can be sautéed, stuffed, fried, steamed, roasted, added to soups or stews, grilled, added to baked goods, used as a topping for pizza, made into fritters or "latkes", shredded into pasta cooked or used raw in salads, juiced, added to crudités platters.  And there are great recipe ideas in this month's Eating Well Magazine (see below.)
