For fruit more broadly, buy what is in season and judge it by weight, fragrance and condition. Our fruit shelf is deliberately small: fruit chosen at its peak, not fruit chosen to fill a wall.
Fruit, chosen properly
Most supermarket fruit is picked to survive logistics. Ours is selected the other way around — for ripeness and condition first. It shows in the details on our product pages: pineapples selected for ripeness, pomelos hand-selected the same way, dragon fruit chosen for bright skin and firm texture. A smaller basket, picked harder. That is why the line-up below changes with the seasons.
What's in the fruit basket right now
The current shelf:
- Pears and orchard fruit — Premium Nam Shui Pear XL, crisp and high in juice with a delicate floral sweetness; Australia Honey Pear; Premium China Fuji Apple; and New Zealand Rockit Apple in a 5-piece pack — small, sweet, crisp, made for lunchboxes.
- Citrus and brightness — Egypt Star Ruby Grapefruit, deep ruby flesh and a sweet-tart bite; Naval Sweet Oranges, easy to peel with minimal seeds; Egypt lemons for the kitchen; and the Thai ruby pomelo, which gets its own section below.
- Tropical — Indonesia Honey Pineapple, golden-fleshed, low in acidity, honey-like sweetness; Vietnam Red Dragon Fruit with magenta flesh; Ecuador Yellow Passion Fruit, tangy and aromatic, its juicy pulp filled with crunchy seeds.
- Small luxuries — golden kiwi with honey-like sweetness; China Soft Seed Pomegranate XL, air-flown and tagged seasonal, so it comes and goes; Australia Hass Avocado; Turkish Big Fig; Driscoll's blackberries from Yunnan; and Jumbo Blueberries, fragrant and sweet-tart.
The live line-up is always on our Fruits collection page — when something disappears, the season has usually turned, not the standard dropped.
The pomelo everyone asks for
The Thai Siam Ruby Pink Pomelo has become one of our best-selling fruits, and it earns it. It helps to say plainly what it is: Siam Ruby is a special variety of pomelo — a named variety, not the common kind — and that is the honest reason it costs more than an ordinary pomelo. A pomelo is the grapefruit's bigger, gentler ancestor: a thick, fragrant rind around firm segments that come apart cleanly, without the juice-everywhere mess. The Siam Ruby's flesh is naturally pink — ruby, as the name says — seed-light and low in acidity, with a delicate floral aroma, and it is hand-selected for ripeness before it reaches us, which is why it eats consistently sweet instead of playing the pomelo lottery.
Choosing one is simple: pick the heaviest in the crate, with firm, fragrant skin — heft is juice, and a light pomelo is a dry one. To eat it, cut away the thick rind and bitter white pith, peel the membrane off each segment, and the flesh flakes into pearls: superb on their own, in a Thai-style salad with prawns and herbs, or chilled with a pinch of salt, the way it is eaten across the region. Uncut, it keeps at room temperature for up to five days — buy ahead for visits and festivals without babysitting it.
It is also the best gift on the fruit shelf: generous without being fragile, patient for days, and meaningful — our product page calls it perfect for gifting.
Every season brings a different shelf
Fruit is the most honest calendar in the shop. Premium seasonal fruit — Japanese melons in their season, for example — appears in its season and leaves when it ends. Stone fruit follows one hemisphere, berries another, pomegranates carry their seasonal tag openly. So the shelf rotates. What you loved last season returns in its season; until then, move sideways to whatever is peaking this week among the Fresh Fruits & Vegetables — fruit in season beats the same fruit flown in to fill a gap, every time.
