Pump up the pumpkin! Yes, it’s pumpkin season, and we can’t hide our excitement. It’s (probably) a scientific fact that people’s happiness is correlated to pumpkin intake. At least, it is for us. That’s why you’ll find everybody at HL stuffing the orange stuff – in all its forms – into our mouths. From pumpkin coffee creamer to incredible pumpkin chévre cheese, we have all your seasonal favorites. And just to infuse a bit of tropical warmth into your cool pumpkin party, might we suggest adding the unique flavors of Passionfruit, Kiwano melons, and Starfruit? In fact, with their slightly apple taste, Kiwano melons fit right into fall! And did we mention that Pumpkin Spice Lattes have returned to the Espresso and Juice Bar? Orange you glad it’s pumpkin season?

Produce

Organic Florida Avocados – Florida Avocados are much bigger, greener, and smoother than their Hass cousins (more familiar to most people). They have a slightly different texture, with a higher water content and lower fat content, and plenty of fiber and vitamins to boot. One fruit is probably enough for a whole batch of guacamole!

Organic Passionfruit – Tangy sweetness and pleasantly crunchy seeds add a lovely flavor and texture to desserts, yogurt, salad dressings, sorbets… the list can go on and on!  Passionfruit are ripe when they are completely wrinkled, feel light for their size, and give to gentle pressure. Don’t sleep on these, like lots of tropical fruit, they’re not always available!

Organic Kiwano Melons – Kiwano melons are orange, spiky, and don’t seem like they would be even edible, but the bright green jellylike flesh inside is sweet with hints of apple and citrus.

Organic Starfruit – This fun to eat fruit has a surprise in store, when you slice it, the slices are perfect five-pointed stars. They are best when they are yellow and firm looking.
