Home Grown: Food for fall
Harvest season is around the corner and a great way to celebrate is eating good food with friends and family.
In today’s Home Grown, we will explore fall goodies to enjoy on your dinner table.
Razielle Valle, the assistant of Sprouts on 4th avenue, says that locally sourced as well as statewide sourced produce gives the customers more options.
For example, in the upcoming romaine lettuce season, Sprouts will be sourcing their lettuce from local growers.
Another brand of apple, the Sugar Bee, comes in a cider blend that is perfect for apple pie recipes.
Sweet and tangy, the cider is delicious enough for a whole glass worth.
Two of their seasonal apple breeds like the Rock-It apple come all the way from Washington!
The Rock-It apple had a crisp texture with a very sweet inside, and the mini size is perfect for your child’s lunch box.
Sprouts also get milk and juice products from a regional dairy in Phoenix.
The Danzeisen Dairy ships products like milk, chocolate milk, strawberry milk, orange juice and the seasonal favorite, eggnog!
The pumpkin eggnog is a twist on the creamy drink making you wish you were at a pumpkin patch bundled up in sweaters and scarves.
Another seasonal favorite to include on your next shopping trip is a pumpkin pie pumpkin from a farm in California.
According to Valle, pumpkin popularity has grown for the store in the past two years.
Sprouts also has everything you need to make a pie from the pie crust to the spices.
Speaking of pumpkins, another fun addition to your dishes this year could be pumpkin seed butter!
Just like peanut butter, pumpkin seed butter allows the consumer to get the nutty side of the well-known pumpkin flavor.
If you are a coffee fanatic, like me, you will love the Sprouts Pumpkin Spice coffee blend!
One of my favorite things I got to try was pumpkin spice almonds.
Unlike chocolate covered almonds, these sweet treats had a pumpkin yogurt coating with a cinnamon, sugar dust.
Sprouts is also committed to helping the Yuma Food Bank this harvest season with the Grab and Give campaign.
Customers can donate $11.99 to purchase a brown bag of General Mills goods for the Food Bank.
Those bags can then either be hand-delivered by the customer, or Sprouts will deliver them as well.
