MT Piccino

The chayote is in the squash family and like its cousin, the zucchini, is dense and mild flavored. Peel the spines off and enjoy the flesh of the fruit either raw, sliced thin and made tender with lime juice or salt, or steamed, boiled, baked or grilled.

Sweet and crisp, these non-astringent persimmons are excellent for general snacking. Best when eaten firm, like an apple. Approx. 10 lbs per flat

This mild, sweet-tart fruit originated in Ancient Persia and was brought to California by Spanish settlers in 1769. Pomegranates are delicious in sauces, dressings and salad, as well as eating fresh. You know it’s autumn when this fruit first appears! (4-5 per bag)

Flor de Mayo beans are a delicious, quick cooking, smaller bean, excellent for use in any recipes calling for pinto beans. Tasty in braises, soups and as refried beans.

Otto File corn, already shelled and ready to grind to make fresh polenta!

Olio Nuovo is extra virgin olive oil at its freshest just off the press literally! Rather than letting the oil rest after harvest, the new oil is bottled immediately after pressing. The result is an intensely flavorful and aromatic oil that is truly a treat to taste! Olio Nuovo is a seasonal product available only for a short time and should be consumed within 60-90 days. Because it is unfiltered and unsettled, the oil will appear cloudy and some sediment will occur. Note: Photo is of 500mL bottle. We are offering Olio Nuovo in 375mL bottles for $28.
