APPLE
Though it seems like the apple needs no introduction, we should point out that it does have a lot of dietary fiber and vitamin C. The farm sells a lot of different varieties used for different purposes, so make sure to read the descriptions when selecting your apples. There are specific varieties that are best for cooking and others that are best for fresh eating.
Storage: You can store apples on your counter for quite some time. They do not need to remain in their bag (however if they are in a plastic bag they should come out or they will rot more quickly), they are ripe when you pick them up. They do also cause other fruits and vegetables to rot more quickly, so try not to store them with your other produce, ie keep them out of your fridge.
QUICK IDEAS: Slice and put on a cheese plate; slice into a salad; peel, chop, boil, season, and mash into applesauce!
