Loquat

Well-balanced refined sweetness and subtle acidity; ripe fruits have a meltingly soft texture. Pleasant sweet fragrance. Juice content is modest but flavor is rich

• Choose fruits with vivid orange color and soft fuzz still intact on the skin—this indicates freshness.

• Heavy for their size, free from bruises or discoloration.

• Green stems indicate underripe fruit.

• Highly perishable; consume as soon as possible after purchase.

• If storing, place in a plastic bag in the refrigerator vegetable compartment.

• Do not stack—arrange in a single layer to prevent bruising.
