Robert Schueller of Melissa’s Produce is our resident authority on all things fruits and vegetables. His knowledge is incredibly vast and Robert is also a serious home cook. We affectionately refer to Robert as “The Prince of Produce.” It fits…

Robert is our guest to highlight the Winter season’s best in produce for use in inspired Holiday cooking. Think, for starters, Butterscotch Pears, Green Dragon Apples, and Blackeyed Peas…

It’s apple season. Along the way Robert will tell us about Organic Crimson Gold Apples. “These apples are grown near a National Forest in Cuyama Valley near Santa Barbara, California. Growing in this remote location provides ideal conditions: warm days and cool nights, producing an optimal sugar / acid balance and a firmness in the apples.” Recipes on the Melissa’s Website.

Robert continues as our guest highlighting the Winter season’s best in produce for use in inspired Holiday cooking. Think grown in Idaho Dutch Yellow Potatoes (in various sizes), Steamed Beets and White Asparagus.

A great idea for your Holiday Table are the Melissa’s South African Baby Pineapples. “South Africa is noted for these baby pineapples, also known as Queen Victoria Pineapples, which thrive in the hot and humid climate. These sweet, tart baby pineapples have a bold, rich flavor. They have a fragrant, golden skin and brilliantly colored yellow flesh. South African baby pineapples are entirely edible, with no need to remove the core. The size of an average fruit is about 4.5 inches high (not including leaves) and about 3.5 inches in diameter, making it a perfect individual serving.”

He also shares some fresh ideas in gift baskets that are sure to please. Consider the Giving Hope Basket or the Deluxe Exotic and Tropical Fruit Basket.
