U is for Ugli Fruit. This is a fruit that is a hybrid of an Orange, Grapefruit, & Tangerine. This is actually a fruit we have never sold before! (At lest in recent memory!) Since it is such a unique item, we would love to know if anyone has ever eaten the Ugli Fruit? Where did you get it or eat it? How did it taste?

P is for Potatoes! Now, not all potatoes are created equal. The red potato has Vitamin B6 that helps reduce stress. Yukon Gold potatoes are high in iron to help with cell growth. Then there are sweet potatoes that have tons of potassium to help relax muscle contractions, reduce swelling, & protect the kidneys. But remember, about 1/2 of all the potatoes' nutrients comes from its skin!
