Ah, the ever so tiny and tempting dried kiwi fruit. We’re happy to introduce this bite–sized morsel as one of the newest additions to our bulk foods department. These dried kiwis are pealed, sliced, dehydrated and then given a small amount of sugar to offset their natural sourness—in other words, enjoy this tantalizing fruit without all the labor that usually goes into its preparation!
For our guests who are gluten intolerant or who prefer to consume a gluten–free diet, Bard’s Gold American Lager provides an excellent gluten–free beer option. Brewed in Missouri, this refreshing and flavorful beer contains no wheat, barley, rye or oats, and we love that it boasts fuller flavor and richer aromas than other gluten–free beers.
As summer approaches, nothing sounds better to me than cooking up a homemade, well–seasoned burger on my backyard grill. In our meat departments, we use our Fresh to Market signature seasonings, hand mixed with our 85 percent lean ground beef, to create delicious, hand–shaped burgers. Our most popular flavor is our Garlic and Pepper Seasoned Burger, a tasty patty that is gluten free and packed with flavor in every bite.
Kick your taco night up a notch with one of our favorite products from our tortilla section: Mi Abuelita Bonita Nopal Corn Tortillas. Nopal (also known as the “prickly pear,” or, more commonly, cactus) is a truly underrated vegetable—it’s high in both fiber and calcium, yet low in cholesterol, and it adds great flavor to these corn tortillas!
If your dad likes to grill, may we suggest an aptly named Father’s Day gift? Specifically, Amazing Dad’s BBQ Sauce. All three flavors of this hearty sauce are naturally sweetened with organic honey, and they are also gluten free.
For many of our guests, Father’s Day is a great reason to get the whole gang together for a good, old–fashioned cookout—complete with a good, old–fashioned pie to top off the fun! This Father’s Day, we’re offering our made–from–scratch 9–inch cream pies in crowd–pleasing flavors including banana, chocolate and coconut.
My how they’ve grown! Our produce specialists just took another trip to Terra Firma Farm in Winters to follow up on their heirloom tomatoes’ progress after being transplanted. Paul with Terra Firma is excited about their progress and we’re thrilled to see the tomatoes doing so well! We look forward to carrying Terra Firma’s incredibly juicy heirloom tomatoes this season!
She took our price challenge, and now she’s taking home a $1,000 Nugget Markets gift card! Congratulations to this month’s price survey winner, Julie Lazarewicz! Julie compared our prices to Raley’s, and the results were clear–she saved more than $7 by shopping at Nugget!
