FM Organic Kintoki Kyoto Red Carrot⁠

One of the important heirloom vegetables from the famous Kyoto prefecture in Japan, Kintoki Kyoto red carrots are known for being sweet and delicious, with very little fiber and a creamy texture. They have a striking orangey-pink red color all the way through to the core.⁠

As temperatures drop, the carrots protect themselves from freezing by producing more sugar in their cells, making them even sweeter.⁠

⁠⁠Available locally at FreshPoint Southern California.

Puntarelle Catalogna Chicory⁠

The center shoots of Catalogna chicory are actually young flower stems, referred to as puntarelle. Puntarelle makes a delicious salad, but they are also great braised, roasted, and sautéed.⁠

In Rome, the traditional dish is a salad: Puntarelle julienned, shocked in ice water until the strips curl up, drained, and dressed with an anchovy vinaigrette. Puntarelle is crisp, crunchy, slightly sweet, and has just a little bit of chicory bitterness.

Available locally at FreshPoint Southern California.
