The Pear, the Monk & Some Seriously Groovy Produce

This week on Fresh from the Field Fridays, it’s Labor Day weekend! And while everyone else is talking about watermelons, corn, and barbecue, Dan the Produce Man is sharing some groovy goodies, from the produce department in your grocery store to some rarities at the fruit stand.

We kick things off with Asian pears, along with an old Chinese tale about a pear farmer and a Taoist monk that has a little lesson tucked inside.

Then we get into Golden Russet apples, an old-world heirloom variety. From there, we go to everyone’s favorite. That’s right, fresh okra!

Then we round things out with some late-season peaches from up north that are actually early-season varieties, along with the legendary Elephant Heart plum.
