Frieda's Branded Produce took off, and fresh produce changed forever. Caplan's early decision to go against the grain laid the foundation of non-negotiables that still guide how Frieda's operates.

Gasoline doesn't have a particularly high profit margin, which is partly why most gas stations double as convenience stores or offer fresh food. If chains like Buc-ee's and Sheetz can make more money by selling food, they can afford to lower their margins on gasoline.

Fresha, born Frescia Belmar, is nominally a jazz bassist, but her artistry transcends the form, moving effortlessly between jazz, rock, fusion, and R&B.

"Many times I find myself having to set aside other basic needs my children have in order to prioritize buying food," Garcia said in Spanish.

Albertsons is nursing a 'merger hangover' after the Federal Trade Commission blocked a $24.6 billion marriage to Kroger, leading to store closures across the country.

The more you use a good quality olive oil, the better your food will taste. Spring is the time to seek out the newest extra virgin olive oils—the current harvest from olives picked and milled in the previous fall and early winter.

"He'd bring it in... and we would taste it. And then he would say, 'add a little more spice,' or 'let's tone the vegetables down.' Then he'd take it back to the kitchen... back and forth."

Closing a store is not a decision we take lightly, but this store has had performance issues for an extended period of time. We have worked to enhance and remodel the location, but it has not shown the sales and profit needed to continue operations. In fact, despite the best efforts of a great team, we have lost money year over year at this location.

California's "Real Food, Healthy Kids Act" represents the first law in the U.S. to define and ban ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) from public school lunches. As reported by CNN, the bill requires scientists and public health experts to determine which ingredients and additives are most damaging to children's health. These "foods of concern" will then be systematically phased out of school meal programs that serve over 1 billion lunches annually.

While you might not consider nuts to be a food that spoils particularly quickly, those with a high fat content actually can go rancid after just a few months, which is why we think they're one of the foods you should never buy at Costco. Macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, and pine nuts, specifically, have shorter lifespans than most due to their high fat content, and walnuts and pecans are known for spoiling faster than other varieties for the same reason.

A sandwich doesn't have to have meat to be hearty and delicious. Although there are some disappointing meat-free options out there - mediocre bread topped with bland, ultra-processed "meat" or limp cheese - Los Angeles is filled with many vegetarian and vegan sandwiches that showcase just how great the category can be. These sandwiches really highlight the joy of great produce, something the city has incredible year-round access to.

Walking through the main hall is like being at a grocery store on steroids. Big brands are out in force with elaborate displays, from Organic Valley's farmhouse-style installation featuring a photo moment with popular cartoon character Bluey to La Croix's tropical-themed display to promote its newest flavor debuting at Expo (that would be Pineapple Coconut, for bubbly water fans).

We are not moving away from making plant-based meat. This is a strategic expansion of our portfolio into additional protein categories. We start at the farm with clean and simple, non-GMO ingredients like yellow peas, red lentils and faba beans. We love clean protein and fiber.

It's 9:30 p.m. Snack time. A sacred fourth meal, when I pull out my handwash-only kobachi and drop in a small handful of Blue Diamond Smokehouse almonds. I've been eating them for more years than I care to admit, appreciating the mix of natural (high protein and fiber) almonds with a splash of addictive processing (mmm, hickory smoke flavor and maltodextrin) to keep them feeling dangerous.

In the late 1990s, the California Prune Board set out on a quixotic mission to amend this sales-flattening reputation. It would attempt to rechristen this ancient fruit in the hopes the prune could one day be as unencumbered as an apricot, a raisin, or a fig.

Navitas Organics, a food company based in Marin, has issued a recall for some 8-ounce bags of its chia seeds because of potential salmonella contamination, according to a notice filed with the Food and Drug Administration. This recall is being conducted as a precautionary measure following a recall initiated by the company's chia seed supplier, the notice said. The company issued the notice on Jan. 23 and said no illnesses had been reported.

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. There's a lot you can do with canned chickpeas. Also known as garbanzo beans, these versatile legumes are great to keep stocked in your pantry for bulking up meals with more protein, preparing scrumptious appetizers and dips, and making a number of soups and stews among other dishes. In Tasting Table's deep dive ranking grocery store canned chickpea brands, the 365 Organic variety from Whole Foods was picked as the very best offering.
