Clementines: These are sweet, seedless, and easy to peel. Plus, people are always talking about how cute they are.
Honeycrisp Apples: Their texture holds up really well for storage so they’re nice and crisp, sweet, and refreshing.
Bosc Pears: These have a nice firm texture and they’re a seasonal favorite.
Medjool Dates: Awesome caramelly, chewy goodness.

Broccoli: It’s always good and makes mac & cheese even better.
Kale: I like to braise it or slice it up, you know, bite-size and put it in a salad.

Pluots: I just found out about these this summer! They have a surprising taste and they look really cool too.

Kumquats: These are the grapes of the citrus world – I just eat them straight up. It’s actually the skin that tastes so good; the inside is the sour part.
Persimmons: These need to be so ripe you might think they were bad. We get both varieties of them, hachiya and fuyu, and they both are best really ripe. I cut the top off and just scoop them out with a spoon.
Jared, Iowa City Produce Department
Citrus – Satsumas & Valley Cove Navel Oranges: They're tasty.
Blood Oranges: Truly wonderful – like raspberry citrus.
Pears & Honeycrisp Apples: These are just great.
