Show 280, July 7, 2018: Robert Schueller, Melissa’s Prince of Produce

Robert Schueller of Melissa's World Variety Produce in the AM830 KLAA StudioIt’s now officially Summer and the best of the Summer crop of fresh fruits is now readily available. It’s everything from juicy grapes to ripe figs. Our resident produce authority, Robert Schueller of Melissa’s, joins us with a bumper crop of an update.

Robert is also on stage at the Culinary Arts Pavilion in the OC Promenade Building Opening Day at the OC Fair on Friday, July 13th at 1:00 p.m. with the “Exciting Peppers” presentation and again at 3:00 p.m. with his “Produce Trends and New Products” presentation.

The Best in Season right now with fruit is Figs, Lychees, Organic Plum Bites, Organic Drinking Coconuts, Cherimoyas and Variety Grapes.

New from Melissa’s is their Drinking Coconut. Why bother with a bottle or a can when Mother Nature herself has already created the perfect beverage—coconut water—and the perfect vessel—the coconut itself! Grown on an organic farm in Thailand, these coconuts have everything you could want and more.

First, there’s the water. It’s sweet, refreshing and totally thirst-quenching, with a freshness you just can’t find in packaged products. It’s also an excellent source of electrolytes, including potassium. In addition to the great flavor, it couldn’t be any easier to enjoy. The coconut comes with its own straw (just look under the coconut!), has an easy-open pop-top (no more machetes!), and sits on a recyclable cardboard band, so you can set it down on a table (no rolling around!). This absolutely delicious coconut really has it all.
