A solid mix to work into spring menus right now. Fresh garbanzos are in for quick sautés or simple sides, blood oranges are still bringing that deep color and brightness, and bi-color corn + graffiti eggplant give you a couple easy, versatile builds. Rounded out with Korean melon for something crisp and refreshing to balance heavier dishes.
Fresh chickpeas still in their pods, a short-season item that feels straight out of the field. Toss them whole in a hot pan, char on the grill, or shell for a quick sauté.
Striped, teardrop-shaped eggplant with thin, edible skin and tender flesh that cooks down quickly. Works well roasted, grilled, or sautéed, no peeling needed.
Flavor Profile: Clean, mellow, and soft-textured with no harsh bitterness
Rich red flesh with bold color that carries through in juice and segments. Great for adding contrast on the plate or bringing brightness to spring menus.
Flavor Profile: Sweet-tart, citrusy with berry notes
