Summer Week 4 - Fruit Share Newsletter

You have another young coconut in your share today, which should be easier to open after honing your skills on last week’s slightly more mature green coconut!

There is a soursop (Annona muricata) in your share that is ripe or almost ripe. They are ready to eat when completely soft. Try eating it by scooping the flesh out with a spoon. It also makes a delicious juice, shake or ice-cream. Just remove the seeds from the pulp and blend until smooth. Add your favorite sweetner and milk. 

The bananas today are a variety that is best cooked – once ripe, try them fried, mashed, or baked for a sweet or savory treat.

The mangoes are mostly Manzana and Julie, with some Asian varieties that are starting to mature now.

The sour oranges are packed with Vitamin C and other nutrients – try making an orangeade drink with a little bit of sweetener (honey, sugar, stevia or agave), or use it in place of lemon or lime in any dish. 

Have a fruitful week!
