PEARS- Personally, one of my all time favorites and one of the most underrated of fruits. Pears make a delicious snack, a sweet treat after dinner, and a yummy addition to any salad. Not to mention the endless possibilities in the dessert department. Pears are in season this month, so be sure to get your fix in.
Our overview of what to anticipate in the produce world for the month of March. Our Planograms can help give you some insight and knowledge into what you should order for the month so that you are thinking ahead and prepared! This is all based on what produce is in season, what produce is big for the holiday of the month, and what produce you can promote!
STRAWBERRIES- The only fruit to grow its seeds on the outside! For the month of February we have selected strawberries to be our special lady. For obvious reasons, strawbs are a hot commodity around Valentines day in the produce community. Chocolate covered strawberries are a tasty and easy v-day treat, and one of the most delicious ways to consume them. However, there are equally as tasty ways to eat strawberries that can be a tad healthier. Here are my personal favorites: chopped up and tossed on top of a bowl of greek yogurt and granola, or quartered and added to a bed of mixed greens with feta cheese, walnuts, and a light vinaigrette. Also the perfect addition to any fruit salad!
