ORANGES - to squeeze or not to squeeze?

As we work to develop fruitable into a useful application, we want to know what kind of information and presentation is appealing to you, our users! So, every few days we will highlight a fruit or vegetable and review seasonality, picking, storage, and also fine-tune our OPI (organic purchase importance) index. 

We would love to hear your feedback along the way. So, tell us what you like and what you don't like; we will do our best to consider it for our future posts and the final website!
