Of all the lettuces, Romaine is by far the most nutrient packed. Tonnes of vitamins K, A, and C hidden in these crunchy leaves. Also lots of folate, carotenoids, and other minerals.
Celery
Crunchy & colourful with the mild bitterness of the perfect celery stalk. Make some 'Ants on a Log' or chop into an egg salad sandwich. Yum-me! </br></br> Celery is rich in phytonutrients such as flavenols which have cancer fighting properties. Its fibre content is also a good aid for digestive issues.
Pepper - Bell - Lotto - Organic

Tomatoes - Grape - Organic
A good source of potassium, tomatoes offer vitamin A, vitamin C, some calcium and iron.
Broccoli - Organic
Little trees that taste so good! It's broccoli, delicious all the time, but especially covered in a homemade cheese sauce.
Cauliflower - Organic
An excellent alternative to broccoli, organic cauliflower has taste that is unparalleled. So good that you might not even need dip to enjoy it! </br> </br> Often steamed or boiled, try sauteeing cauliflower for a change. Adding cauliflower to a skillet helps retain the vegetables crispness, and holds in the flavour. Cauliflower is high in both fiber and vitamin C, with a half cup of florets providing nearly half of ones daily requirement for vitamin C. It also contains a fair amount of vitamin A, folate, calcium and potassium as well as selenium, which works with Vitamin C to boost the immune system.
Brussels Sprouts - Organic
Brussels sprouts are high in fibre (even more effect after steaming), glucosinolates, vitamins K and C, and an important detoxifier.

Onions are high in flavenoids and have strong anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and cancer fighting properties. Don't worry about onion breath, you're doing your body good!
Squash - Red Kuri
Red Kuri squash. It's a Japanese squash variety that has a very delicate, mellow flavour. Very excited to have these in the warehouse! </br> </br> Red Kuri Squash are a Japanese Squash variety that is rarely grown in Canada. Inside the hard outer skin there is a firm flesh that provides a very delicate and mellow chestnut-like flavour. The majority of these grown in North America are exported to Japan. Try one this week!
Beets - Red - Bag
These are red beets and are rich in antioxidants and other health promoting vitamins and minerals. Try them raw, roasted, pickled, or pureed into soups. </br></br>The betalin pigments present in beets have repeatedly been shown to support activity within the body's detoxification process, activating and processing unwanted toxic substances up with small nutrient groups. Great source of folate and manganese.
Apples - Jazz
Jazz is a cross between Royal Gala and Braeburn. It is hard, crisp and juicy. The color is flushes of red and maroon over shades of green, yellow and orange. Its flavor is mildly sweet and tart with subtle hints of spice.
Citrus - Oranges - Navel
Juicy, sweet, and California grown, these delicious Navels are sure to impress. </br> </br> Occasionally you may see some superficial scarring on the fruit. These imperfections do not affect the quality of the fruit inside.
Citrus - Lemon - Eureka

Also fantastic on fish. </br></br> In addition to their unique phytonutrient properties, lemons and limes are an excellent source of vitamin C, one of the most important antioxidants in nature.

It's in your genes!
Onions - Shallots
Shallots are favoured for their mild onion flavour, and can be used in the same manner as onions. </br></br>Very similar to onions in nutritional value.
