Produce that inspires… knowledge.
Our passion for produce and drive to share knowledge across the chain is one of our biggest differentiators at Earl’s Organics.
FUYU AND HACHIYA PERSIMMONS EAT DIFFERENTLY
Hachiyas and Fuyus are the two main commercial varieties of persimmons in the United States and are eaten very differently. Find out when and how to eat each variety.
OCTOBER IS FAIR TRADE MONTH
Earl’s carries Fair Trade fruits and vegetables throughout the year. Look for Fair Trade Avocados, Bananas, Melons, Pineapples, Tomatoes and more. Every purchase empowers farm workers to improve their communities by deciding as a collective, how and when to invest the Fair Trade Premium.
CALIFORNIA GROWN POMEGRANATES
Look for pomegranates with a full bright red to dark red color that feels heavy for their size, which means they are super juicy. Drastic changes in temperature from cold to hot or rain can cause the fruit to crack. This is not a bad thing! In fact the fruit will be bursting with juice and ready to go! Read on to find out how to easily open a pomegranate and remove the arils.
JACK O’ LANTERN AND HEIRLOOM PUMPKINS!
Autumn is officially here and it’s time to pre-order Jack O’Lantern, Warty Pumpkins and Mixed Heirloom Pumpkin bins. Read more to find out the fun varieties!
HELLO FALL!
Late summer produce is starting to wind down and now is the time of year to start making room for the wonderful bounty of Fall.
PASSION FRUIT
Passion Fruit are ripe and ready to eat when they start to wrinkle. Cut in half, scoop out and eat the pulp and seeds! Pairs well with smooth and buttery California Keitt mangos.
FRESH JUJUBES PACKED WITH VITAMIN C
Crisp and refreshing, with a delicate fig-and-caramel flavor, fresh jujubes provide more vitamin C than your average citrus fruit. Toss into a weeknight salad, swap out added sugar in baked goods for the subtle sweetness, or simply remove the pit and whir into a healthy fruit smoothie to go.
FLORAL QUINCE
Quince has very hard and bumpy green/yellowish skin that looks like a cross between a pear and an apple. But beware! Do not try to bite into it like an apple, the tart and astringent flesh demands to be cooked before eating.
KIWI BERRIES- POP AND GO SNACK
Kiwi Berries are a nutritional powerhouse and a healthy food source containing over 20 nutrients. They ripen at room temperature and are ready to eat when the skin turns a darker green, wrinkles and gently yields to touch. Similar to a kiwi they will be slightly acidic until ripe when they will be very sweet.
