The variegated pink lemons have yellow skins with green stripes and are entirely pink on the inside. The kaffir limes have an exotic flavor that are ideal for thai cuisine.. latelyIve been mixing them with pomegranate juice, gin and tonic. Yuzu citrus is highly sought after in the culinary world & is often used in sauces, marinades and dressings. Its flavor is like a mix of grapefruit and mandarin.
Strange citrus fruits start showing up in November and get more and more diverse through the winter. I get most excited about kumquats, finger limes and bergamot!
MMMmmm over a dozen types of pears.. my very favorite are the Taylor Gold.
In the winter and fall we have over 35 varieties of apples!! Some come in for a few hours and we never see them again! Did you know that you could eat a different apple every day for 18 years?!
It's surprise heirloom beauties like this that bring me the most joy. I become excited like a child when strolling through the produce dept and running into something like this.. baby purple brussel sprouts!
