was great this week, as usual. wish the ones here in kauai were half as good. best finds were :
- longon. lychee like. small, brown, jumbo grape-sized. these were among the best longon i've ever tasted. $3/lb.
- rambutan (hairy lychee). a little late in the season, but still excellent, and way cheap at $1-$2/lb.
- mango. early (not hayden) varieties. some were great. $2/lb. (best mangoes though are from kauai's westside, where some of the trees still producing are over 100 years old).
- waimea strawberries. i like these better than any other kind. remind me of chandler variety that is no longer grown commercially in california. high acidity. $3/box.
