Ed's Produce

🌎 World Food Day | Innovate Today. Nourish Tomorrow.

Food connects growers, distributors, kitchens and communities — and every step along the way matters.

For foodservice kitchens, even small choices can make a difference: planning around seasonal availability, using ingredients across multiple menu applications, making good use of trim and choosing substitutions thoughtfully when markets change.

🥕 Chef’s Tip: Look at produce by function rather than just by recipe. A vegetable purchased for an entrée may also work in soups, salads, sauces or sides — helping kitchens make more of what they already have.

Today, we recognize everyone working throughout the food system to help move fresh, nutritious food from the field to the table.

Specialty citrus has absolutely no interest in being ordinary. 🍊
Take Chandler pummelo.
It shows up looking like someone put a grapefruit on a growth spurt, then gives you big, juicy segments that work beautifully in salads, desserts, or drinks.
Then there are finger limes.
Tiny. Slightly ridiculous looking. Completely committed to making an entrance.
Slice one open and out come little citrus pearls that pop in your mouth and release a bright burst of juice.
Basically, citrus caviar.
Because apparently regular lime juice wasn’t dramatic enough.
Chef’s move: Use Chandler pummelo when you want a soft, juicy citrus component with some substance. Then finish the dish with finger-lime pearls for that sharp little pop of acidity.
Seafood? Absolutely.
Citrus salad? Perfect.
Cocktails? Now we’re having fun.
Two very different citrus fruits, both refusing to be background ingredients. 🍊✨

🫐 Blueberries: tiny, dramatic, and apparently wearing their own protective skincare.
That dusty-looking silvery coating on the outside?
Completely normal.
It’s called bloom — a natural waxy layer that helps protect the berry.
So no, your blueberries are not secretly covered in mold. They’re just moisturized.
When you’re picking a container, look for berries that are dry, firm, plump, and evenly deep blue.
Then do the important part:
Check the bottom.
Crushed berries? Juice collecting in the corner? Fuzzy mold?
That container has already started making its own smoothie. Keep moving.
Chef’s move: Warm the berries just until a few begin to burst, add a little lemon, and spoon the compote over pancakes, yogurt, cheesecake, or even roasted poultry.
Blueberries: excellent on breakfast, surprisingly good at dinner, and somehow still showing up with better skin than the rest of us. 🫐😄

🍄 National Mushroom Day

Few ingredients work as hard across the menu as mushrooms.

White mushrooms, cremini, shiitake, oyster and portabella can move easily from breakfast omelets to sandwiches, pizzas, pasta, soups, sauces and dinner entrées.

👨‍🍳 Chef’s Tip: Roast mushrooms at high heat with enough space between them. Crowding the pan traps moisture and steams them instead of developing the deeper flavor and browned edges chefs are looking for.

Try something different: Finely chop roasted mushrooms and fold them into ground beef for burgers, meatballs or meatloaf. They add savory flavor while helping stretch the application.

Don’t let their size fool you—these little guys pack a BIG punch! 🍄💥

Cremini Mushrooms can elevate your Fall menus. Often called "baby bellas," these deep brown beauties are firmer, richer, and way more flavorful than standard white mushrooms.

Here is why they’re a absolute chef favorite:
Deep, Earthy Umami: Sautéed to golden perfection, they add a rich, savory depth to every dish.
Meaty & Satisfying: They hold their texture beautifully, making them the ultimate star for hearty bites.
Flavor Sponges: They soak up every drop of garlic, butter, herbs, and w**e they're cooked in!

From sizzling skillet starters to rich, velvety sauces, see how much flavor you can fit into one little mushroom! 🍷🔥

Take a bite and play pepper roulette! 🌶️✨

We are officially obsessed with Shish*to Peppers!

Try these mild, sweet, and smoky Japanese peppers blistered over high heat until tender, tossed in sea salt, and served with a splash of citrus. But here’s the fun part: about 1 in every 10 peppers packs a secret spicy kick!

Will your next bite be mild or fiery? There’s only one way to find out. 🔥
