Crudité Essentials to Beat the Heat

Crudité Essentials to Beat the Heat

Cecilia Estreich Jul 27 , 2016

Let’s agree that it is way, way too hot right now.  After a week of this nonsense, we’re not trying to eat anything heated above the atmospheric 99 degrees that is dominating the East Coast.  Your customers just commuted home on a train with no air conditioner—they feel the same. 

So, give the sweaty masses what they want and serve them crudité.  It’s easy, profitable and, best of all; you don’t have to cook it.   Luckily, we’re fully stocked on adorable baby veg from the specialty produce pioneers at Babe Farms in California.  These guys started growing unique produce varieties when most of the country still got their vegetables from a can.  Their focus on consistent sizing and quality makes their baby vegetable line perfect for composed salads and crudité.  Check out our round-up of favorites!
