New Products at Healthy Living: South Burlington, VT

PRODUCE:

Organic Buck Brand Nova Tangelos – Deer Creek Heights Ranch: A cross between a Clementine Tangerine and an Orlando Tangelo.  They are high sugar and low acid like Clementines, but they do have a few seeds.  Deer Creek grows all their citrus varieties for flavor above all, expect them to be delicious!  (You can always tell a tangelo by the “nipple” on one end.)

Organic Florida Strawberries (New Crop!!): Florida strawberries have a shorter season than their California counterparts – they also tend to be slightly smaller, more elongated, and sweeter!  Florida varieties are different from the proprietary Driscoll’s berries that are commonly seen.  A bit early for peak strawberry season – count on late February to early March for the best of the Florida strawberries – but who couldn’t use a taste of Spring?

Local Organic Mixed Creamer Potato 2# Bags – Burnt Rock Farms: These are the “creamer” (meaning small sized) potatoes in a fantastic array of five varieties that Burnt Rock Farm grows; ‘Purple Viking,’ ‘Adirondack Red,’ ‘Elba White,’ ‘Yukon Gem,’ and ‘German Butterball’ ! A convenient 2# bag – perfect for boiling whole, or quartering and pan roasting.

Organic Buck Brand Mandarinquats – Deer Creek Heights Ranch: A cross between a mandarin orange and a kumquat; dark orange color, bell shape, and larger than most kumquats (in the two inch range).  The peel is edible like a kumquat, but sweeter!

Organic Bacon Avocados: Smoother and greener than the more common Hass avocado, the Bacon has a bigger seed, less oil and a  buttery texture. As with all avocados, the ripe one will give to gentle pressure.

Local Organic Red Napa Cabbage – Pete’s Greens: The Red Napa is mild and sweet, rich in vitamins C and A, as well as zinc and calcium. The deep burgundy color of Red Napa cabbage is due to the presence of anthocyanins, which also serve as a powerful antioxidant.

Pitchfork Farm: Local Organic Microgreens: Extremely nutrient dense and surprisingly flavorful, proof that good things come in teeny-tiny packages.  The mix includes daikon radish sprouts and red hong vit radish sprouts right now – so count on it being pretty spicy!

Jeni’s Churro Ice Cream: If you like Spanish churros you’ll love this cinnamon ice cream speckled with pastry flakes and bits of toffee. Yum!
