Fruit for Tuesday, June 6

Open Tuesday, 2:00-3:00

There's not much improvement in the supply of mangos yet.  The only noticeable difference today was that more Florigons were ready to pick.  Florigon is not a major mango for us, so the impact on the supply is negligible. 

Today's meager picking includes Florigon and Beverly, and very few of Cogshall, Jakarta, Glenn and Carrie.

Of course we will check for more mangos and other fruit tomorrow.

Fruit for Saturday, June 3

Open Saturday, 9am-Noon

We aren't sure what ripe or green mature mangos we will have, but the supply will be very small.

This is an unusual mango season.  A few varieties bloomed early and therefore have mature fruit now.  Most of our trees have very small fruit which (hopefully) will mature much later than their normal season.  June might be a slow month for mangos, but we might have lychee then.

I'll try to video the SE part of our grove this weekend, so that you can see the progress of our different mango varieties.

Jaboticaba, or "Tree Grape" is native to Brazil, and is related to crape myrtle. Fruit attach directly to interior branches, and not to branch tips like many other fruits.  The flavor and texture are similar to a muscadine grape.  Jaboticaba is commonly eaten fresh, usually without consuming the skin.  It's also made into juice, jelly, marmalade, and wine.

Spotlight on Black Sapote

It's peak Black Sapote season! Also known as black persimmon and chocolate pudding fruit, Black Sapote has green skin and a deep chocolate brown flesh. The fruit has a mild and sweet flavor with a pudding-like consistency. Black Sapote can be eaten fresh, mixed with orange juice for a delicious drink, mixed with whipped cream for a tasty dessert, pureed with mango, etc and dehydrated, and used in baked goods.  The fruit is picked green and ripens to dark gray-green color and becomes soft as a marshmallow.
Samples available tomorrow!
