When thinking of foods in "the tropics" one almost assuredly conjures up images of ripe lusty fruits, brimming with flavor and bright colors. Here in Rincon we have a fruit stand that never fails to satisfy that image! Antonio and Juan have their fruit stand on Carr 115 as one heads off of Calle 2 into Rincon. They are dedicated and congenial men, always willing to share their knowledge of the fruits, their ripeness and help clients select just the right fruit or vegetable.
Today I was passing by the stand and decided to stop and get some avocados. Avocados have a very long growing season here in Puerto Rico as there are so many different kinds. We have been eating fresh local avocados since August! These are the two that Antonio selected for me today, fresh and ready to eat. They are going to taste delicious in a fresh salad with a little fresh lime, from the tree next to the Lemontree's parking! Avocado is also delicious smeared, just like butter, on fresh panaderia bread or crackers.
