Fruits & Veggies



One of the wonderful things about our California neighborhood is the variety of fresh fruit and vegetables available year round. We love using fresh ingredients for our breakfasts. Here it is the the middle of winter and there is quite a bounty at our local Moss Landing fruit stand. The fruit stand is only a few blocks walk from the Captain's Inn and always has unusual items. We brought home: banana, dragon fruit, guyabas, cilantro, papaya, and black apricots (real yum). There are some local area strawberries and artichokes too. The dragon fruit was originally from Vietnam, the photo of the dragon fruit cut in half, and dragon fruit feels like kiwi with a much milder taste. Dragon fruit tasting slices ended up at the B&B breakfast.
