🥝 Kiwi season is here!

Chefs, this vibrant fruit is in its prime — sweet, tart, and full of color. Perfect for brightening up winter menus, from seafood and salads to sauces and desserts.

Try adding it to a kiwi-ginger vinaigrette over grilled chicken or diced into a fresh kiwi salsa for a citrusy punch.

Gold Chanterelles — prized for their golden color, delicate texture, and complex, earthy flavor, these mushrooms are a seasonal highlight in fall menus.⁠

Chefs value them for their versatility: they sauté beautifully in butter or oil, complementing risottos, pastas, and creamy sauces. Chanterelles also hold up well when roasted or folded into vegetable medleys, allowing their subtle fruity notes to shine.⁠

Beyond flavor, their distinctive trumpet shape and vibrant gold hue make them visually striking, adding both elegance and depth to dishes. A true seasonal ingredient that elevates taste, texture, and presentation. ⁠
