White Corn
White corn is a sweet corn variety. Its ears are wrapped in tightly layered pale lime green to white husks. One ear of corn can contain up to 400 kernels growing in rows lengthwise.
Cantaloupe Melon
The cantaloupe is defined by two elements: its roughly netted stone and green colored skin and its aromatic orange-coral colored flesh. When perfectly ripe, the flesh is juicy, unctuous and sweet.
Grower
Seasons/Availability
Late Winter through early Spring.
Description/Taste
Organic Meiwa kumquats are quite sweet; because the rind is thicker on this variety, these mouthwatering kumquats develop a much higher sugar content than Nagami kumquats.
Applications
Best eaten fresh, they can also be cooked into purees and sauces.
Geography/History
Locally grown, Garcia Organic Farms has been providing the marketplace with outstanding fruit since 1985. Native to Japan, Meiwa kumquats are favored for their fantastic flavor. The plants are not as prolific or as high yielding as the Nagami kumquat variety which are notably much more vigorous and produce a greater volume of fruit.
