		<description><![CDATA[The world of wonderful SUMOS! Whole Foods, Sonoma, California carries the &#039; Sumo &#039;.  Sumo says Japanese and they&#039;re rotund  like the wrestlers,  &quot;Orange&quot; doesn&#039;t fit, the color is orange but  the similarities wane away. The flavor is rich, intense, naturally sweet,  a noticeable absence of sour. The fruit is the size of a large navel orange but Sumos have lots of &#039;give&#039; when you handle them, virtually no firmness when ripe, the almost loose skin is pulled away very easily, sections are fatter, plumper and juicier then oranges. Eat Sumo&#039;s at room temperature or cool  I like them room temperature, when the flavor is deep, and  they seem more like &#039; a quiet moment in time &#039; then the pizazz of a cold orange. They weight more because of their density. They cost more, I tend to buy by the piece then the pound. You will very happily get what you pay for.  Buy the special tea or chocolate or cookies, Macadamia&#039;s or the something dusted with cinnamon. You&#039;ll need at least one Sumo per person. Two if you forget the main meal. They&#039;re too full flavored to eat with other fruits. Don&#039;t put them in a fruit salad, like the Baritone, they&#039;ll drown out the children&#039;s choir.


I&#039;d bet a good friend near a Whole Foods, an Oliver&#039;s, a Sonoma Market, or any Calif. specialty markets would ship you some  if it&#039;s not under 50 f or above 80 f  outside 


about fruit temperature: temperature regulates the sugar = flavor. Cold storage gets fruit from farm to boat to truck to table. but cold destroys flavor permanently, it also  preserves color and firmness. You look, you handle, you buy, you own. But you don&#039;t eat those things.


 Hormones now produce great color and colossal sized fruits that grow rapidly to market size to please your eyes. They&#039;ve studied why you buy.  First to market gets highest price. Pay for flavor not size and color.  Flavor is nutrition. Hormone fed fruit doesn&#039;t have flavor. Close your eyes. None. It won&#039;t develop flavor  in your home. The finest wines are from grapes that had a long growing season called &#039; hang time&#039;.  I know Americans like iced everything and chilled fruit. But cold fruit, fruit fed hormones, or picked before it&#039;s protective acid bends to sugar is not able to deliver it&#039;s flavor. Good fruits  are only full flavor at room  temperature, just above warm or eaten in front of a  breeze.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hyuganatsu.  Just recently (this year) noticed them in my grocery.  
They&#039;re freaking delicious.  And anyone who thinks you need to put sugar on them is absolutely bonkers.  Worst part is the giant seeds and extremely thick skin.]]></description>
