You have two choices in JC: produce that is “basmado” (so green it will rot before it ripens) and produce you need to eat TODAY. (I guess 3 if you like to pay freshdirect $20 for 5 oranges.) if you live near them, the produce markets will sell you passable produce for TODAY. Just expect to need 3-4 trips a week, and nothing will last beyond 72hrs under any circumstance.

Just curious what language is basmado from? Love that there’s a word for this.

It’s a terribly useful word, Caribbean Spanish I guess! I just know it cause the old ladies at Supremo trying to help me choose a mamey sapote used it!
