I don’t always have a game plan when I go to the grocery store. Sure, I may have a list of items to buy, but I love the process of meandering through the aisles to see if anything piques my interest. My penchant for wandering around is the precise reason why my husband hates grocery shopping with me. I can’t help myself. Nugget Markets is designed for shoppers like me who like to peruse. I particularly love their produce section because every time I walk through, I feel as if I’m greeted by a sea of bright colors. Everything looks so inviting and fresh, and I can’t help but load up my cart with fruits and vegetables. I kid you not, I spend at least 15 minutes in that corner of the market every time I shop. I recently met with the Director of Produce at Nugget Markets, Adam, who was kind enough to sit with me and talk more about how they source and stock their produce. First and foremost, Nugget Markets strives to provide fresh, quality, seasonal produce for its customers. They receive shipments at least several times a week to ensure fresh produce in the stores. Every single time I walk into Nugget, I’ll see one or two associates replenishing the stock. To reduce waste, blemished produce are set aside in large compost bins that will be picked up and repurposed for agricultural use. Adam also shared that he is constantly looking for new produce to feature in his stores. That’s great for food enthusiasts like me. I’m always pleasantly surprised by the wide range of produce I can find, including fresh turmeric, napa cabbage, tomatillos, and asian eggplant. Nugget Markets even carries the ingredients I need to make dumplings! You can find all the items you need to make these red curry tofu dumplings at Nugget.
