Called "The New Black" by this month's issue of Cooks' Illustrated, we're excited to be carrying Korean Aged Black Garlic. These whole bulbs are fermented until the cloves turn tarry black and develop an intense umami flavor. Try adding them to noodles, risottos, tapenades, or just eat them straight!
We're the "Best Place to Buy Secret Ingredients".
Strawberries are too delicate to be picked by machine. The perfectly ripe ones even bruise at too heavy a human touch. It hit her then that every strawberry she had ever eaten--every piece of fruit--had been picked by calloused human hands. Every piece of toast with jelly represented someone's knees, someone's aching back and hips, someone with a bandanna on her wrist to wipe away the sweat. Why had no one told her about this before?
