I used to have a friend who would buy one orange. Then she would go to her car and taste it. If it was good, she would go back in and buy a lot more.
I'm not sure if you want to do that, but it is an idea...
It's Clementine season right now - they are usually good. I like the other poster's advice about oranges :-) Our store's navel oranges are usually good.
Frozen blueberries are usually good, as are blackberries. Dole's frozen strawberries taste like nothing, but I am going to try organic ones this year when the ones I picked and froze run out. During berry seasons, we pick and pick and freeze and freeze.
Canned fruit in juice is reliable. Watch for fruit cocktails with carmine, which is crushed beetles used to color the cherries.
Our market has organic kiwis and bananas that are good year 'round. We buy pineapples - I was always picking awful ones until a worker gave me this tip - pull on a leaf (hard) and if it slips out, it is ripe. She picked a leaf a couple rows from the fruit shoulders. The brown-ness (as opposed to green) of the fruit gives an indication as well - too much brown and it is overripe.
I can't pick a good melon to save my life.
In the winter, I mostly do dried fruits. This probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but that's what I do since the supermarkets around here don't get decent fruit in the winter, besides bananas and apples.
ah yes, you cant eat natural fruits, all processed and dried, if this was hundreds of years ago, you'd eat meat, or die, just saying this so vegans wont say " human beings are MEANT to be vegan..."
At Trader Joe's, they sell really good fresh fruit. Nut if they don't have a good variety at your store, there is always unsweetened dried fruit that you can mix with nuts:D
