Stone Fruit
Summer’s sweetest stone fruits are ripe for the pickin’ at your neighborhood Sprouts! What makes a stone fruit unique? It has a single large seed or pit, typically found at the heart and center of the fruit. This season, you’ll find a unique variety of stone fruits in-store, like tree-ripened, juicy peaches and nectarines and plump cherries.

Pick a perfect fruit
Tip 1: Not quite ripe yet?
Place your stone fruit in a paper bag, out of direct sunlight at room temperature. Check daily for perfect ripeness.Tip 2: Extend Freshness
When your stone fruit is ripe, store in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. This will preserve freshness for an extra three to five days.Tip 3: Whoops, too ripe …
Don’t toss your stone fruit yet! Roughly chop up the fruit, toss in a saucepan with a little water, a touch of sugar and dash of cinnamon. Cook down until fruit is soft and syrupy for a delicious fruit compote to top ice cream, waffles, pancakes, yogurt and more.Meet the Growers!
