SPRING FRUIT

Spring is here, at least that’s what the calendar says.  With it comes the hope of a new season, new life, and fresh fruit!  Following is a list of just a few of the fruit that are in season in the spring!

Rhubarb

Signaling the arrival of spring, these bright red stalks are perfect in many different desserts.

Meyer Lemons

Meyer lemons are prized for being sweeter and more delicate than the standard lemon. Try preserving the lemons in salt and sugar to use them all year long.

Kiwis

Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, eating kiwi fruit every day to stay healthy!

Honeydew Melons

The mainstay of the buffet fruit salad, honeydew makes for a refreshing and healthy snack.

Cherries

It’s a scientific fact that sweet varieties, such as Bing, make the best cherry pies.

Pineapple

Long considered “The Friendship Fruit”, pineapples are also sweet, delicious healthy for the joints!

Apricots

Apricots are great in both sweet and savory dishes, but when they are in season and impossibly sweet we recommend eating them raw by the handful.

Strawberries

A springtime favorite, strawberries are delicious for so many reasons – plain, dipped in chocolate, topped on ice cream, or in a cheesecake, just to name a few!
