- February 4Since February is Black History Month, we want to take this time to highlight our Black-owned businesses. Pride Road, one of our early vendors, is a family- and veteran-owned business that produces all natural, locally grown hibiscus-based products. Most of our regular customers know about their delicious sodas and teas, but we also carry their chutney, jelly and dried teas whenever we can get them. Their products are becoming so well known that we’re not always able to order them! This Saturday we'll be offering their sodas at $1.90 a bottle instead of the usual price of $2.50.Fresh FruitsWe've got lovely berries (blueberry and strawberries), along with our usual bananas, apples, lemons, limes, and mandarins.Fresh VegetablesFor this week's Market we'll have kale, collards, potatoes (sweet and Russet), onions, Brussel sprouts, asparagus and lots more!Baked GoodsIf you like home-baked breads, cookies and other sweets, we have what you'll be wanting.

While certain dairy items, like cheese, can last quite a while, dairy items are often wasted. One of the best ways to ensure your dairy lasts and doesn't get thrown out is to store it properly. Dairy products should be stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator. So take that milk and yogurt out of the door and put it on a shelf toward the back!

It's time for a Tuesday tip. You might already know this, but there's nothing wrong with a gentle reminder — use the right measuring tool. The right tool depends on whether you're measuring liquid or dry ingredients. Dry ingredients include flour, sugar, spices, etc. These go into a dry measuring cup like the one shown in the photo. Milk, water, oils and stocks go into a liquid measuring cup which is generally made of glass or plastic and has fluid ounces detailed on the outside.

What, exactly, is a superfood? According to @eatthisnotthat, "Generally, a food is promoted to superfood star status when it delivers ample amounts of vitamins and minerals with antioxidant power, is linked to the prevention of a disease, or is thought to offer several health benefits ..."
Pomegranates, a winter superfood, are high in polyphenols, "known to improve heart health, fight infection, and improve memory."
