The family business began in 1912, with founder Dominick Testa selling stalks of celery door-to-door out of a basket. The creation of the Chicago Terminal Produce Market pro¬vided a central selling location for the company and Testa maintained a stall there for several years. Eventually Testa Produce outgrew that area and moved all operations to a larger building off of the Market. As the restaurant industry evolved, so did Testa Produce. In 2011, Testa expanded yet again and moved into its new home: a 91,300 square foot fa¬cility featuring the most state-of-the-art green technologies. Testa’s facility achieved LEED® Platinum Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, and with that Testa Produce became the first LEED Platinum Foodservice Facil¬ity in the United States. The building was designed with a minimal carbon footprint and utilizes numerous renewable energy sources. Using sustainable practices allows Testa Produce to support and protect the key element of the pro¬duce industry: The Earth.

It is a large citrus fruit, 15–25 centimeters (5.9–9.8 in) in diameter, usually weighing 1–2 kilograms (2.2–4.4 lb).

Kale is expected to be plentiful for the next few weeks and this powerhouse plant is super versatile.

KALE CHIPS are a simple, good-for-you snack. Remove kale leaves from stems, tear into bite-sized pieces, drizzle with olive oil and a dash of salt, and bake 10 to 15 minutes in a 400 F oven. Kale belongs to the same family as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and collards. One cup of raw kale gives you more than 100% of the Daily Value of vitamins A and K.
