TOP SEASONAL PICKS

July - October

DRAGON FRUIT

This exotic is available in white (pink skin, white flesh), pink (pink skin, dark pink flesh), and yellow (yellow skin, white flesh). Each variety is slightly different in taste, with yellow being the sweetest.

EGGPLANT

Early European varieties of the eggplant were much smaller, rounder, and either yellow or white in color. They looked like goose or chicken eggs, hence the name! Read more about eggplant varieties on page 38..

FIGS

It’s actually an inverted flower. And each species of fig tree is pollinated by its own distinct species of fig wasp.

HEARTY GREENS

Also known as bitter greens, this category includes arugula, collards, dandelion, endive, kale, and mustard. Super healthy, they pair well with spicy and sweet flavors that balance their strong flavors.

PEACHES AND NECTARINES

Although similar in flavor, the nectarine is smaller with smooth skin. Peaches have thicker, fuzzy skin and softer flesh.

PEAS

Not actually a vegetable, but still delicious! A pea is a legume and belongs to the same family as lentils, chickpeas, beans, and peanuts.

PLUMS

Believe it or not, the plum is the second most cultivated fruit in the world (number one is the watermelon) and is grown on every continent except Antarctica.

SPECIALTY TOMATOES

There are more than 10,000 different varieties of tomatoes around the world! Read more about some of our favorite specialty tomato varieties on page 20.

PUMPKIN AND HARD SQUASHES

The world record for the largest pumpkin goes to Mathias Willemijns of Belgium who grew a gourd that weighed in at 2,624.6 pounds. That’s the size of a small car!

RUTABAGA

Before the jack-o-lantern, there was the rutabaga… Seriously, before carving pumpkins became popular, rutabagas and turnips were hollowed out and filled with glowing coals to scare away evil spirits.
