Organic Grapefruits

Savor the tasty, delicate treat of tree-ripened fruit bursting with sunshine-sweet flavor and juice. This seedless variety is the result of open pollination of Kincy, King and Dancy mandarins. Popular backyard trees in Ojai, California, they bear small to medium-sized citrus, having pebbly textured, yellow-orange rinds with loose skins that peel easily. The segments separate neatly for a quick snack, making them a great choice for eating out of hand.

For the juiciest, sweetest fruit, look for Ojai Pixie Tangerines with a sweet, clean fragrance. Store at cool room temperatures for up to one week or refrigerate for up to two weeks. Peel Ojai Pixie Tangerines before use. Five medium-sized Pixie Tangerines equal approximately one pound.

Finger limes are a new and unique citrus variety that continues to spark creativity in the kitchen. The finger lime’s inedible exterior resembles a pickling cucumber or cocktail avocado in shape and size. Its skin is thin, ranging in color from purplish or greenish-black to light green or rusty red.

When finger limes are sliced in half, the lime juice caviar is revealed. Apply gentle pressure, and the caviar will ooze out of the fruit like a lava flow.

Serve finger limes over salads, seafood, and any dish that is looking for a fresh pop of citrus with a creative presentation.

Choose slightly firm fruit with no scarring or bruises. Refrigerate for up to one week in a plastic bag.

Although “tangy” is not a quality typically preferred in an orange. Seville oranges are extremely juicy and segment very neatly, containing very few seeds.

Seville oranges are ideal for marmalade because of their wonderfully strong orange taste and the fact that they are so easy to prepare. After preparing the recipe and refrigerating, this orange, which began as sour and bitter, is transformed into a delightfully sweet and tart marmalade, unmatched in flavor. Another benefit is the tangy juice of Seville oranges, which gives any savory or sweet dish a tart, clean and crisp taste.
