Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

July 17 - Nectarine Selection Tips:

Good-quality nectarines will be fairly large, have smooth, unblemished skin and will be firm but not rock-hard. Ripen nectarines at home for 2 to 3 days at room temperature until they are slightly soft along the seam. Ripe fruit will have a sweet nectarine smell that is stronger when the fruit is at room temperature.

Avoid product that is too small, too soft, pitted, bruised or has small spots of mold.

OASIS has much more information on soft fruit.
