Cooking Tip

Avocados

While avocados are technically a fruit they are prepared and eaten as if they were a vegetable. They are the main ingredient in guacamole and a regular on fresh spring and summer salads.

Cooking Tip

Preparing Artichokes

Look for artichokes that are tightly furled and firm to the touch. The stem should be firm and not discolored.
