“My all time favorite kale salad is from Il Buco in NYC from Ignacio Mattos. When I remix it at home I source organic farmers market ingredients and even harvest some of the produce from my backyard. I like to supercharge the recipe with nutrient dense microgreens and seasonal sugar snap peas for more protein crunch. I don’t use vinegar like the classic recipe instead I add a whole Meyer lemon which has a nice citrus punch with floral hues. The key is fresh croutons toasted from bread with a healthy amount of extra virgin olive oil and flaky salt. Some ingredients are truly best imported and Domenico’s has some amazing anchovy fillets and DOP Parmigiano Reggiano. I garnish with fresh chiffonade lemon basil cuttings I grew on my terrace from Logan’s Gardens seedlings using my Crescent Garden Nest. Every bite has a beautiful fresh, briny, and savory hit transplanting you directly to the hills of Tuscany by way of Bond St.” – Adrianne Ho

Stone Fruit is officially in season and we are super excited about it! From cherries to peaches to plums, some of the sweetest, tastiest tree grown food are stone fruits. Of the three fruits, plums are the most unique. Plums contain a unique antioxidant that is effective at neutralizing a particularly harmful type of free radical. Plums are also a low-calorie fruit with a low glycemic index and contain useful amounts of vitamin C, which fortifies the body’s defenses against infection and increases the amount of energy-giving iron that we absorb from food.
Plums come in various colors ranging from black to purple, red, yellow, and everything in between. Plums are generally in season in the United States from the end of May all the way into October. California is the number one producer of plums in the United States and therefore ship plums all over the country. California plums start to ripen in late May and the season goes until around the start of September, so you have a few more months to enjoy as many plums as you can!

We know what you’re thinking and nope this is not a grapefruit, they are pink lemons! Pink lemons were first discovered in a home garden on an ordinary Eureka lemon tree in Burbank, California around 1930. It is now grown as a farmers market fruit in limited quantities throughout Southern California.
Pink lemons are visual stunners, especially compared to lemons that you are used to seeing! They have a yellow-and-green-striped skin (when the green fades you know the fruit is ripe) and blush-pink flesh (lycopene which is also the antioxidant that gives grapefruits their ruby hue) that gets pinker as they ripen. You would think with all of this pink greatness the juice would be pink, nope still clear so this is not what makes the pink lemonade pink 🙂 Now to the taste… Pink lemons taste less tart than regular lemons, with a more fruity, floral flavor, making them ideal for desserts, water flavoring, or a summertime cocktail!
