Organic cardoons are here! Cardoons are a type of thistle in the sunflower family also known as artichoke thistle. These magnificent plants can grow up to 5 feet high and 4 feet wide! The spiny green stalks are reminiscent of a bunch of celery with a slightly bitter artichoke flavor. Once cleaned and blanched, these can turn into soup, breaded and fried Roman-style, baked or a hearty vegetable addition to risotto or pasta dishes!

Sumo or Shiranui mandarins from our friends @ripetoyou are here! A sumo is an oversized, seedless, sweet and juicy mandarin. It’s larger than a navel orange with a thick, bumpy rind and a protruding knob or top knot at it’s stem. Based on the description and it’s name, these mandarins are a nod to sumo wrestlers and their signature hairstyle. Plus, they’re super easy to peel which means you’ll save on labor costs…

Sicilian pistachios are renowned for their beautif

Sicilian pistachios are renowned for their beautiful green color and deep intense flavor. Grown near Mt. Etna in Sicily, these pistachios are smaller and more fruity compared to California varieties. Typically used for desserts but we’re thinking these are perfect for savory applications. Pistachio pesto? Pistachio crust on fish? Beet and pistachio salad? A garnish? You get the idea. Sold by the 1lb bag!

Valentine pomelos or pummelos from @ripetoyou are here just in time for, well, Valentine’s Day! These beauties are a combination of a pomelo, a mandarin and a blood orange and are called Valentine Pomelo because they are typically harvested around this time of year.

Fuyu persimmons are round and squat in shape similar to a beefsteak tomato and have a honeyed, sweet taste. Fuyu persimmons are far less astringent compared to the hachiya variety which need to be fully ripe to be enjoyed. These can be enjoyed when firm and crisp or can be left to soften. Chefs, how are you using Fuyu persimmons?

Organic Karashi mustard powder from our friends @t

Organic Karashi mustard powder from our friends @thejapanesepantry! Yamasei’s mustard powder is made from stone ground organic Barukan mustard seeds. To retain the mustard flavor, Yamasei takes great care when removing the oil and grinding the seeds to a paste which is then dried into a powder. Use sparingly (instructions on bag) to add spicy mustard flavor to your dishes!

New from our friends @thejapanesepantry! Takehisa’s shiitake powder is made using mushrooms that slowly grow in the forest during the colder months resulting in more intense flavor and umami. Think of porcini powder but with a more woodsy, earthy flavor. Use to add a deep umami flavor and depth to your broths, stir fries, roasts or as marinade when salting meats. Sold by the pouch!

This should brighten this gloomy day! Of the three

This should brighten this gloomy day! Of the three major types of blood oranges, ‘Moro’ are said to be the most colorful and intensely flavored. Due to a genetic mutation, the red-crimson color comes from an antioxidant called anthocyanin typically not found in oranges. We’re thinking sliced thin for crudo, olive oil cake, winter chicory salad with goat cheese, seasonal cocktails…. 🍊🍊
