Pronounced “teh-pah-che,” this fabulous fermented probiotic beverage has been made in Mexico for centuries! Thousands of versions of tepache exist regionally but at the core of it all, the recipe is based on fermented pineapples. To be more precise: pineapple, pineapple rinds, cinnamon and sugar with endless variations of spices and regional fruits like mango, oranges or pomelo. Until recently, tepache was mostly found in Mexico in Tepacherias alongside street food vendors. Now you can find it at your local Nugget Markets!

As smoke continues to fill the sky, wildfires continue to burn across Northern California, putting our families, friends and neighbors at risk. To help support those most affected by the fires, Nugget Markets has launched a $10,000 matching fund drive at the check stands across all our stores. All donated funds will benefit the American Red Cross' efforts to support community members in Northern California that have been displaced or lost their homes due to the current wildfires.
From early summer to fall, you can find California-grown pears at your local Nugget Markets.

The cooling nighttime temperatures in the Delta’s lowland levees along the river and orchard-lined hills of Mendocino are the perfect climate to make the perfect pear.
