Seasonal Fruits
Ripened on the Tree
Carbide-ripened fruit turns uniformly yellow in a day and stays sour at the stone. Tree-ripened fruit ripens unevenly, smells like something, and is sweet all the way in. We sell the second kind, which is why the season is short.

What It Eats
Nothing but soil, monsoon and forty years of root. No chemical ripening agent at any stage.
How It Is Raised
Malda and Amrapali blocks. Cut to order and packed in straw; never gassed, never carbide-ripened.
Why It Is Worth It
Tree-ripened fruit carries more sugar and far more beta-carotene than gas-ripened stock, and it will not turn sour at the stone.
