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.
If you know, you know! Our longtime customers know when we say these two fruits are available, they need to hurry in to the market! The season for heirloom Santa Rosa plums and heirloom Blenheim apricots will be done before you know it. You can't find these treasures just anywhere, and Sigona's is honored to work with the local growers to bring in these favorites.
Find us in two San Francisco Bay Area locations: in Redwood City across from Costco and Palo Alto in the Stanford Shopping Center.
