Oh my! Glowing, yellow Star Fruit have just arrived! This rising star (pun intended) is packed with sweet, slightly tangy flavors that are compared to papaya, orange and grapefruit with hints of pineapple and lemon. If that doesn’t scream summer treat to you, we don’t know what will! The entire fruit is edible, and when sliced across, you get that stellar star shape that is great for eating on its own, or for dressing up a fruit salad!
Light yellow and green-striped, these Tiger Figs spend their summer getting sweeter by the minute! They hang on to their trees before being picked at peak ripeness. Tiger Figs’ beauty is skin deep - also known as “Candy Stripe†figs, these are considered to be one of the sweetest tasting fig varieties! Their red flesh boasts notes of strawberry and raspberry jam – perfect as a dessert topping or for pairing with nuts and cheese.
Who knew that a cactus plant could sprout such pleasing and exotic fruit? Oblong, ranging from pink to red, with a thick skin and scale-like leaves, Red Dragon Fruit have arrived in all their luminous glory! These particular sweets have a bright red flesh with a melon-like texture yielding a delicately sweet and slightly acidic flavor. Red Dragon Fruit are considered “super foods†being rich in antioxidants and contain three times the amount of vitamin C found in carrots! Cut them in half, spoon out that vibrant flesh and enjoy its sweet juiciness (their seeds are edible)!
