Whirl With Merle

We are told to eat lots of fruits and vegetables.  There are certainly a whole bunch to chose from.  Phil Varone owns Valentino's a long time produce market where there is an array of both local and imported produce.  Imported meaning from Italy.  We will be talking about some uncommon fruits and vegetables, how to chose them and the importance of the freshness.

Prinkly cactus fruit, persimmons, and loquats. 

Let's throw in that there is an Italian deli counter as well.
