Laura Avery chats with Peter Shaner, of Shaner Farms in Valley Center, about tangelos.  They are at the peak of their season, as well as seedless Navel oranges.  Tangelos look dark orange with a pointy top, are part tangerine and their sweetness shines through.  Also delicious are Kara kara oranges, which have a pinkish hue inside.  Peter brings in Spring onions, avocados and shallots as well.
