What’s in Season?
The bright California sun is shining, which means locally grown tomato season will be starting very soon! Suppliers are estimating within the next few weeks we will have a great round red slicer tomato and heirlooms coming to us from Dinuba, CA. Stay tuned for that! More beautiful field grown rhubarb from Washington is continuing to flow in, grown by Living Rain farms. Be sure to use this special item while it’s in peak season! Also coming back to California harvest areas are leaf lettuces. We are currently receiving great local products from Salinas.
Two springtime favorites, asparagus and artichokes, are absolutely fantastic. These products are the essence of the season! Also great now are red and white spring onions, which lend a milder, sweeter onion flavor. Beautiful chicories such as escarole, frisee, radicchio, castle franco, and red and green dandelion greens are looking and tasting top notch!
Processed Fruits and Vegetables
Need your fruits or vegetables diced or sliced but don’t seem to have the time? Let C & L Produce take care of it for you! We can prepare your food items and deliver to your restaurant ready to use. For instance, popular fresh items we process the morning of your produce delivery include onions, lettuces, mushrooms, carrots, celery, and much more.
