Shopper's notes
Persimmons
Fuyus are eaten crisp like apples; Hachiyas must be jelly-soft or they're mouth-puckering.
Meyer Lemons
Sweeter and more floral than grocery lemons — a backyard Bay Area staple.
Winter Squash
Delicata and kabocha arrive first; butternut stores well into winter.
Brussels Sprouts
Grown in the foggy fields around Half Moon Bay — sweetest after the first cold snap.
