It's Wallpaper Wednesday...and this month we are talking about tomatoes!
Tomatoes are an ancient crop, thought to have originated in Central America centuries ago. While tomatoes have become associated with Mediterranean cuisine, they were relatively late to the European pantry, not arriving until the 16th century.

Bok choy, a beloved Asian vegetable, can also be grown locally in Canada, highlighting Canada as a close neighbor across the Pacific Ocean and one of the most culturally diverse places in North America. It is very common in Canadian markets and available alongside varieties such as baby bok choy and sui choy.
There are unbeatable ways to enjoy bok choy—stir-fried with garlic, simply steamed and seasoned, or cooked with any protein. Its crunchy texture and naturally sweet flavor make it a versatile and reliable favorite.
Locally grown in our FreshPoint Canada location.

Cilantro is thought to have been cultivated for nearly 5,000 years, dating back to ancient Egypt. Over time, it has traveled the globe and become a staple in cuisines from China and India to Mexico and Eastern Europe. It arrived in North America in the 17th century with English colonists. Even today, it remains widely used in soups, salsas, sauces, and as a garnish. In culturally vibrant countries like Canada, you can find cilantro in almost every restaurant.
While its delicate green leaves resemble carrot tops, few people realize that cilantro belongs to the carrot family—Apiaceae, a.k.a. Umbelliferae.
Interestingly, with its bold aroma and taste, cilantro sparks a distinctive love-hate relationship among foodies—making the “cilantro debate” a fun and never-ending topic.
