Here are the STORE NEWS and SPECIALS from Almut:
FRUIT NEWS:
- Keeping it closer to Canada, try the 3lb Spartan Apples. They make an amazing Apple Crisp. Sweet and sour all in one. They cook down to a soft mush in about 30 minutes. Add some Raisins, Cinnamon and maybe some Pumpkin seeds - Delicious!!!
- Organic Dates - Mazafati - from Iran. Creamy with a fudge-like texture that melts in your mouth. A truly delightful treat (even if from far away).
... In case you missed it last week - they are 'to die for.' Wolfgang is on his 2nd box (all on his own)...
- Green Grapes from South Africa - $7.02/lb are super quality and taste this week.
- Organic Kiwis from Italy dropped in price to $0.50 each.
The Kiwifruit, or Chinese gooseberry, originally grew wild in China. Kiwis are a nutrient-dense food — they are rich in nutrients and low in calories. Kiwis are a good source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. And they are so juicy and tasty!
Quick Kiwi anecdote: Recently, someone in Denmark offered a Kiwi Pizza - which in Italy, the home of the Pizza, was seen as a "holy abomination." Italians take their pizza very seriously, and kiwis just don't fit in there. It was already a cultural insult to see pineapple end up on pizza.
VEGGIE NEWS:
- Ontario Butternut Squash is finishing up for the season (alas). Food Box customers will see one more 'Squash' in their boxes coming up.
- Broccoli dropped its price to $2.95 per bunch. (Cauliflower is still well above $8.00 and we are not selling at that price.)
- Beautiful Tomatoes from Quebec arrived today! They are the size of a grapefruit - for $6.13/lb.
- Celery from California is down to $1.75/bunch. Deep-green and big bunches.
OUTLET NEWS (BARGAIN Corner):
- Our Bargain Butter section is still loaded with all sizes and shapes. Check it out: 454g Butter Sticks Salted from Lactancia, 454g Salted from Lactancia, Semi-Salted from Lactancia, Unsalted from Natrel, Organic 250g Salted from Natrel - we have it all.
- L'Ancetre Mild Cheddar 325g is still on Sale for $5.75 each. Regular $10.75.
- Jordan's 'Morning Crisp Cereal - Bursting With Nuts' (dated May 3rd) is still back for $4.50/500g.
- We have a variety of Cheeses in our Outlet cooler. Call the Store - 519-725-4282 - if you are interested. The prices are always very good.
We have: President's Choice Brie, Emmental from France, 1lb Black Diamond Cheddar slices with Real Cheese (not processed), Cracker Barrel 270g Marble Cheddar for $3.25, Thornloe Blue Cheese (mild and very creamy), 1.5kg Lactancia Cream Cheese for $10.00, Castello 200g Cheddar Savoury Onion.
Keep warm, but don't sweat the little snowfall that's on the way,
Almut
