When it comes to fresh produce like Cucumbers, Tomatoes, and Peppers, there is one simple way to know that what you are purchasing was grown in a sustainable way and that is the greenhouse grown logo. Earth Day is a great reminder to take steps needed to leave less of an impact on the world around us. Knowing how our food is grown and where it comes from is an important step. Greenhouse grown vegetables are inherently sustainable as greenhouses require less land and less water to grow more vegetables. This efficiency makes it possible to provide people with healthy options with less negative environmental impact. Pure Flavor® is part of the next generation of vegetable growers and we have found innovative ways to marry traditional farming techniques with sustainable growing technology such as: CLOSED LOOP DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM This gives every plant the exact amount of water and nutrients that they require – no more, no less. Every single drop of water that a plant doesn’t soak up is recycled to be used for other plants. PESTICIDE FREE We use thousands of good bugs like Lady bugs as an all-natural pest solution rather than pesticides. RECYCLED GROWING MEDIUMS Our plants are grown in coconut fiber and other recycled mediums. VERTICAL GROWING By growing vertically, much less of a footprint is used to grow in a greenhouse 13 LEARN MORE ABOUT GREENHOUSE GROWING 14 Flavor Up YOUR APPETIZERS ABIGAIL HARRIS-SHEA @bon_abbetit15 SAUSAGE STUFFED MINI PEPPERS 30 mineasy4 CONTINUE READING SEE RECIPE The presentation of appetizers – the colors, the textures, the artful arrangement, and the complementary flavor pairings – invites your guests to unwind and indulge. The best approach to building an appetizer menu is to offer variety. A little hot, a little cold, a little sweet, a little salty – the mix is entertaining perfection. You will want to create delicious contrasts. Serving salty charcuterie? Add sweetness with our Cloud 9® Bite-Sized Fruity Tomatoes. Serving soft cheese? Add the crunch of our Aurora Bites Mini Sweet Peppers. There is nothing quite as satisfying as the crisp freshness of our Poco Bites® Cocktail Cucumbers dunked into a creamy warm dip. Appetizers can be a colorful and delicious way to set the stage for the feast that is coming, or they can be served as finger foods during a gathering where a meal isn’t being served. Whatever the occasion, you should select appetizers for their color, flavor, texture, and how well they complement each other. Like a trailer for an upcoming movie, appetizers create a buzz for good things to come. The sight of a beautiful spread of delectable morsels is enough to change the entire mood of a party, luring guests to the table for a shared experience among friends or family. A good appetizer spread offers an appealing mixture and contrast of textures, tastes, and colors. While it is easy to put together a charcuterie board and call it a day, whipping up a little something special to add to your appetizer presentation can be quick and easy. That’s where this recipe comes in. Sausage Stuffed Mini Peppers are the perfect combination of savory and sweet, with beautiful colors and a good crunch.16 Explore some of our favorite and flavorful breakfast and brunch recipes that are perfect for Easter celebrations.
