Robbie Sigona is our produce buyer. He works with local farmers and scours the market for the very best in fresh fruits and vegetables — some you won’t find anywhere else.
Locally-grown arugula from San Juan Bautista down to Salinas is available from April-November.
Fresh arugula should be all green. A light green is ok, but avoid yellow leaves.
Arugula is extremely delicate and should be used within a day or two of purchase.
Keep refrigerated (stored with a damp paper towel) until you eat.
If you rinse the arugula, be sure to remove as much moisture as possible before adding to a salad or tossing with a vinaigrette.
Say hello to Radicchio Rosa! This gorgeous, pink-colored chicory has just arrived at our market from J. Marchini Farms in La Grand, CA. It’s up on display next to its chicory cousins, Castelfranco and Treviso.
These have a unique flavor that’s delicately bitter, adding great texture and deliciousness to salads or braises. Check out J. Marchini Farms' website for a few serving suggestions, then come to Sigona’s to pick up these chicories!
