Red Bananas
Red BananasBananas are revered as one of the world’s divine foods. You have never experienced bananas like this small, red variety unless you’ve visited Ecuador or Central America.

They can be sliced and dried or eaten raw in salads, but are usually eaten fresh out of hand.
Red Bananas, when ripe, should have a purplish hue. Choose slightly firm Red Bananas and avoid bruises or cracks. Store Red Bananas uncovered at room temperature. Turn occasionally. To prepare for frying, simply cut off ends and peel. Season with fresh herbs from Melissa’s.

Seville Oranges
Seville OrangesAlthough “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.
