Produce

Organic Satsuma Mandarins- Fantastically sweet and juicy, these seedless little citruses are a perennial staff favorite.  They are easy to peel with a lovely soft flesh. For maximum enjoyment, be sure to choose citrus that is heavy for its size and has a firm, shiny skin – though it’s okay if it is a little green!

Buck Brand Centennial Heirloom Kumquats- Whew! This is an exceptionally large kumquat, with a green and yellow streaked rind.  Kumquats are usually eaten whole – any fan can tell you the juice is tart, the skin is sweet, and not to mind the seeds!  This California grower is known for specializing in “heirloom” citrus varieties, growing them specifically for their exceptional flavor.

Fuyu Persimmons- This type of persimmon is sweet and firm, with a pleasant crunchy texture and a hint of astringency.  Unlike a Hachiya persimmon, which is only palatable when completely soft, a Fuyu persimmon can be eaten more like an apple.  It will hold its shape in baked goods (persimmon upside down cake, anyone?)
