الوداع الكبير لموسم الحمضيات

This is it — the last great week for Lebanese citrus. The naval oranges from Jbeil are still holding strong, sweet and heavy with juice. But the blood oranges from Tripoli are the real story.

We secured 200kg of Moro blood oranges from a single farm in Koura. When they're gone, they're gone until December.

This week's picks:

• Blood oranges — $3.50/kg (last chance)


• Clementines — still sweet, $2.50/kg


• Grapefruit — pink, from Saida, outstanding


• Meyer lemons — perfect for everything

Meanwhile, the first asparagus of the season appeared at the Bekaa farms. Thin, tender, bright green. Spring is arriving.
