Store onions in a cool, dry place with good circulation. Green onions should be stored in a plastic bag and refrigerated for up to 5 days. Enjoy as a snack or squeeze to make juice in the morning. Look for oranges with thin skin that seem heavy for their size. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Papayas are in abundance at the market.
The farmers will help you choose large or small, ripe or not. Kauai farmers grow a variety called the Strawberry Sunrise papaya, which is sweeter, juicier, and redder than most. Scoop out the seeds and use half a papaya as a bowl, filling it with granola, yogurt, or a squeeze of lime. Look for well-shaped, firm, thick peppers with a rich, shiny color. Top with lemon sherbet and mint.
