Load Up on Cinco Essentials
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro... Cinco de Mayo is just over two weeks away. Make sure your department is stocked with all the holiday staples and a few extra treats to make it pop:
As far as avocado consumption in the U.S. is concerned, the 5th of May is second only to the Superbowl, so make sure you have plenty ripe and ready for eaters anticipating guacamole. Luckily, OGC has an array of avocado options from GEM to the classic Hass.
To round out the bowl of guac and tasty salsa, be ready with piles of cilantro, onions, tomatoes and a spectrum of mild to spicy chili peppers.
Chopped into salsas or blended into beverages, bright and tangy tropical fruits like Ataulfo mangos, Intenza papayas, Gold pineapples and even yellow and magenta dragon fruits bring the color and flavor.
From guac to salsas to margaritas to wedges in bottles of lager, limes might be the ultimate Cinco essential.
Crunchy and refreshing, organic jicama is the perfect snack for shoppers looking for some traditional Mexican veg.
For folks looking to add some Northwest grown flavor to their fiesta, loads of bright red radishes are coming from the region’s growers. And wouldn’t green garlic be tasty in guacamole?
