Robert Schueller of Melissa's World Variety Produce in the AM830 KLAA StudioWhat’s trending in fruits and vegetables for the new year? Produce Guru (aka The Prince of Produce) Robert Schueller of Melissa’s World Variety Produce has the answers.

Everything “Coconut,” for instance, is hot…Melissa’s is introducing Fresh Coconut. It’s fresh coconut juice (with no additives) in a genuine coconut grown in Vietnam. Also available are coconut hearts & slices, young coconuts, packaged coconut clean snaxs and lots more.

Also, trendy citrus abounds. Look for Neapolitan Tangerines right now. Neapolitan Tangerines are a brand new hybrid variety available commercially for the first time in limited quantities. This Neapolitan is slightly smaller in size than most tangerines, but has a big flavor with a very high natural sugar content. This fruit is seedless, easy to peel and extremely juicy.

A Bumper crop of the incredible Ojai Pixie Tangerines is on the horizon. Look for them in March.
