Meet the Fruits!We thought it might be interesting to put some useful knowledge, facts, and folklore about all our fruits,....and some pictures of them too. Here's your chance to shake hands, sniff around, dig up dirt, and make new friends.
 | | Apples |
Apples have been a staple fruit for as long as history stretches and we have some of the juiciest and sweetest varieties ever produced. Check out these links for general info about apples or more about your favorite varieties.
 | | Citrus |
One of the most widely cultivated and enjoyed categories of fruit, citrus fruits are a refreshing, healthy, and delicious treat all year long. And we've gone above and beyond to select and grow only the most fabulous varieties in the world. You won't believe how good an orange can get until you taste one of ours.
 | | Grapes |
Our immediate family is one of the premier growers of organic grapes in Northern California. We produce some of the sweetest and most popular grapes in the world, and we grow them organically! Hmmh, I wonder if there is a correlation here? We even have new varieties of grapes that few have even heard of or tried yet. Be the first to catch the wave with Summer Royal Seedless grapes or stick to the Thompson Seedless that everone knows and loves. We have something for everyone. We also will ship grapes from other parts of the world in the offseason but one thing you can be sure of, "It takes one to know one" and when you grow......well you know.
 | | Berries |
Pound for pound, berries are some of the healthiest fruits on the planet. They cram so many vitamins and nutrients into such little packages that you can get plenty of nutrition without skyrocketing your calorie intake. For starters, blueberries are loaded with antioxidants and strawberries have more vitamin c by volume than citrus fruits. Check out the individual links for more on the marvels of berries.
 | | Pear/Quince |
Both the pear and the quince are related to apples and have similar textures and flavors. Pears are the softest, quince in the middle, and apple the crispest. Try adding quince to your apple recipes for a new and improved taste.
 | | Peaches and Nectarines |
These summertime fruits are some of the most irresistable treats nature has to offer. And if you love peaches, but hate the fuzz, nectarines are the way to go. Peaches come in yellow and white varieties. The white ones are low in acid and therefore don't have the typical tang of a yellow peach, but you don't have to choose. We'll bring you both!
 | | Pluots/Plumcots |
An instant classic! Pluots and Plumcots stormed onto the fruit market in the 1990's and became a favorite for many people automatically. If you like plums you'll love these hybrids with apricots that are so sweet and so juicy you won't be able to keep the secret about pluots either. And if you are feeling adventuresome and want to try something completely different, then try my personal favorite, the plumcot. Where the pluot is more like a plum, plumcots take on a life of their own and leave their parents, the plum and the apricot, in their dust. These golden orbs are definately going to be a staple among summertime fruit.
 | | Plums |
An old favorite, and one of the juiciest and most succulent fruits in the world. Plums can satisfy even the most voracious of sweet tooths and make a delicious addition to summertime desserts and salads.
 | | Cherries |
By far the most anticipated and frenzied season of the year is cherry season. When these little beauties finally pop off the trees people rush to the markets and line up to get their fill. The season only lasts a short while, but with California Fruit Company you won't have to fight through the people and pick through the cherries to find the best. We've done all that for you and we'll bring it right to your desk.
 | | Apricots |
Another summer favorite that comes and goes in the blink of an eye. We'll make sure you don't miss them, and we'll also make sure that you get them at the peak of their ripeness when their flavor is exploding and their flesh is silky. We're willing to bet that they're even better than the ones you had when you were a kid.
 | | Tropical |
With sweet bananas and fresh kiwifruit you are already dangerously close to a delicious smoothie. Oh, wait we'll send you strawberries too! As well as an amazing variety of other fruit, so don't be afraid to ask the boss to put a blender in the breakroom. Everyone will be glad you did.
 | | Persimmons |
The scientific name for the genus of persimmons is diospyros, meaning food of the gods. The Greeks thought that persimmons were heavenly and so do we. That's why we go out of our way to see that you get a little piece of heaven in your day and perfect fruit in your workplace.
 | | Pomegranates |
Open a pomegranate and there are a thousand tiny surprises inside. And no matter how many times you eat them, they never get less satisfying. A super blend of sweet and tart, these little morsels are worth the mess they can make. Where dark red when you eat them.
