I went on a tour of Specialty Produce in San Diego and had so much fun learning their story of fruits and vegetables. The most awesome thing about Specialty Produce is that they provide most of the produce for San Diego Restaurants AND it’s open to the public! I loved the variety of fruits and veggies available and that you can select as much or little of the item you want.
The vibrancy of the ingredients was amazing. I have so not wanted many veggies lately but this little tour really made me want to eat healthier again. I picked up a bag of kumquats for snacking since they tasted like a sweet/biter orange candy. The pomello was delicious too and I am so not a grapefruit person. I love the added sweetness and flavor it has. The photo below was my take home of the produce box with a few extras I added.
The Farmers’ Market Box is only $20 and you can add specialty add-ons from local companies like Sadie Rose Baking Co., Cataline Offshore Products and Jackie’s Jams. Farmers’ Market Boxes can be picked up at their location or if you get a group of friends together that want to order the boxes they will deliver to you.
I cooked with my specialty produce box ingredients all week but my favorite recipe was the roasted cauliflower and leek soup that the kiddo and I made over the weekend.
