They're Light & Loaded
Sriracha & Lime Pretzel Crisps. These bold and spicy flat-baked pretzel crackers offer the zesty flavor of sriracha and the refreshing taste of lime! They are exceptionally thin and crisp, but also packed with flavor and crunch. We love to pair them with sliced deli meats, but they are also very dippable and, of course, delicious on their own.

Melon Mania
According to Dr. Liz Applegate, Ph.D., melons supply a scant 60 calories per cup, are packed with a wealth of nutrients and are loaded with water for hydration. The popular cantaloupe supplies over 100% of vitamin C needs in just one cup, and offers a healthy dose of beta-carotene. The tuscan, crenshaw and canary melons are packed with potassium, which is helpful in controlling high blood pressure, and the honeydew melon comes packed with vitamin C! Finally the crowd favorite, watermelon, is loaded with water, potassium and lycopene, a potent cancer fighter.

Beaut Pears From Down Under
A favorite pear of ours is here and ready for taste testing! From our neighbors down under, the Taylor’s Gold Pear was first discovered in New Zealand in 1986. It is a natural mutation of the Comice pear, making it even sweeter and juicier than the average pear! Its golden cinnamon, rose-blushed colored skin distinguishes the Taylor’s Gold pear. The fruit tends to be large and plump with a creamy white flesh and smooth texture.
