Farmers' Market Report May 9, 2014
Apriums
Grower: Fitzgerald Farms
Description: The aprium has the initial appearance of a small deep rose-hued apricot, a physical trait inherited from its plum parentage. It skin is covered with a near translucent fuzz which the fruit inherited from its other parent, the apricot. The fruit’s flesh, when ripe, is sweet forward with a bright and tart finishing mouthful. The flesh is also more comparable to a plum with layers of juice that make the fruit’s consistency delicious when just ripe, yet mealy when overly matured. Apriums are classified as a “climacteric fruit”, meaning the fruit continues to ripen after picking.
