From vibrant Carnival Cauliflower and striped beets to sweet Dulce Mandarins and ruby-red blood oranges, this week's lineup is full of color and seasonal flavor. And don't overlook the Blue Hubbard Squash, a fall favorite that's perfect for cozy, comforting dishes!
A colorful twist on a kitchen staple! Carnival Cauliflower brings a mix of vibrant purple, orange, green, and white florets to the table. Roast it to bring out its natural sweetness, toss it into grain bowls, or serve it raw for a colorful addition to crudité platters.
Flavor Profile: Mild, slightly sweet, and nutty with a tender crunch.
Small, sweet, and bursting with juice! Dulce Mandarins are easy to peel and packed with bright citrus flavor. Perfect for snacking, adding to winter salads, or bringing a little sunshine to desserts and seasonal menus.
Flavor Profile: Exceptionally sweet, juicy, and fragrant with a gentle citrus tang.
Don't let the tough, blue-gray exterior fool you! Blue Hubbard Squash has beautiful golden-orange flesh that turns rich, smooth, and velvety when cooked. Its naturally sweet, earthy flavor makes it a favorite for creamy soups, roasted squash dishes, and hearty fall recipes.
Flavor Profile:Rich, sweet, and nutty with earthy undertones and a buttery texture.
Aussie Blood Oranges bring beautiful ruby-red flesh and a sweet-tart flavor that's a little more complex than your everyday orange. Slice them into salads, squeeze them into cocktails, or use their vibrant juice to brighten sauces and desserts.

Also known as Chioggia beets, these beauties have a surprise waiting inside! Slice one open to reveal stunning pink and white rings that look almost too pretty to eat. Shave them thin for salads, pickle them for a colorful garnish, or roast them to bring out their natural sweetness.

Lettuce Is Tight: Romaine, romaine hearts, and green leaf are in short supply as growers transition from Salinas to Yuma. Expect some availability challenges over the next few weeks.
Berries Are Feeling the Rain: Wet weather in California is making strawberries and blackberries harder to come by. Raspberries are holding steady, and we're working to keep other berries available.
Tomatoes Are Having a Tough Week: Weather damage and seasonal growing transitions are putting pressure on tomato supplies, especially round tomatoes. Roma and specialty varieties may also be affected.
Domestic Citrus Is Almost Here! The Australian citrus season is winding down, and we're looking forward to the arrival of domestic Satsumas and other seasonal favorites. Stay tuned!
Thinking Ahead to Thanksgiving? Now's a great time to plan your holiday herb orders! Sage, thyme, and rosemary are looking good, but let us know early if you'll need larger quantities.
