Best Fruit That Can’t Be Found in the Supermarket
Blenheim apricots
Novakovich Orchards, 14251 Fruitvale Ave., Saratoga. Most fruit is engineered for transportability, not flavor. That’s why the fragile Blenheim apricot is such a treasure. It’s too juicy to be shipped. But you can go to Saratoga’s Novakovich orchard and taste what you’ve been missing.
