Produce Report: Beautiful Beets

Hello All and Happy Monday! We hope all of you are well-rested after last night’s Big Game festivities. In case you splurged in stadium snacks, no worries, our delicious bins this week will get you back on track!

This week’s produce arrived beautifully this morning – and that is anunderstatement! Is that candy in your bin this week? No it’s Chiogga and Gold Beets! These beets are not just nice to look at – they’re good for you!  Beets can help prevent heart disease, birth defects, and cancers.  Beets can help lower cholesterol and reduce inflamation.

They’re also relatively easy to make and an easy way to brighten up any meal. For our favorite beet recipes go to our recipes page and search “beets.”

Also, look how great this week’s kale came in! Perfect for soup, salad, side dishes or even chips, you will be sure to use these delicious greens some way this week. Kale is an amazing vegetable recognized for its exceptional nutrient richness, health benefits, and delicious flavor.

Eating a variety of natural, unprocessed vegetables can do wonders for your health, but choosing super-nutritious kale on a regular basis may provide significant health benefits, including cancer protection and lowered cholesterol.

Kale, also known as borecole, is one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet. A leafy green, kale is available in curly, ornamental, or dinosaur varieties.
