As the winter chill fades and New York City awakens to the vibrant colors of spring, E. Armata Inc. is excited to bring you the freshest seasonal produce. Our commitment to providing top-quality wholesale produce in NYC means we’re always in tune with nature’s rhythms. Let’s explore the delightful fruits and vegetables that herald the arrival of spring in the Big Apple.
Tender Greens and Crisp Asparagus
Spring marks the return of delicate, nutrient-packed greens to our wholesale produce offerings. Arugula, spinach, and watercress are at their peak, perfect for light, refreshing salads or as vibrant additions to sandwiches and wraps. These greens are not only delicious but also packed with vitamins and minerals essential for health and vitality.
Asparagus, the quintessential spring vegetable, is another star of the season. Look for firm, straight stalks with tightly closed tips – a sign of freshness that our wholesale customers have come to expect from E. Armata Inc. Asparagus is versatile in the kitchen, excellent for grilling, steaming, or adding a crisp texture to stir-fries.
Spring Onions and Radishes
As the days grow longer, spring onions and radishes make their appearance in our wholesale produce selection. These vegetables add a crisp, peppery kick to dishes and are perfect for brightening up spring menus.
- Spring onions: Milder than their mature counterparts, they’re great in salads or as a garnish.
- Radishes: Look for firm, brightly colored specimens. They’re excellent sliced thin in salads or pickled for a tangy treat.
The First Fruits of Spring
While vegetables dominate the early spring landscape, some fruits begin to make their appearance as well:
- Strawberries: Usually available from June, these sweet berries are the first fruit of the season, perfect for desserts or as a fresh snack.
- Rhubarb: Though technically a vegetable, rhubarb is often used as a fruit in culinary applications. Its tart flavor is perfect for pies and compotes.
Unique Spring Delicacies
For those looking to add something special to their menus, spring offers some unique produce:
- Fiddleheads: These curled fern fronds have a short season in April and May, offering a nutty, asparagus-like flavor.
- Ramps: Also known as wild leeks, ramps have a strong, garlicky flavor and are highly prized by chefs.
Transitional Produce
As we move from late spring into early summer, our wholesale produce offerings expand to include:
- Peas and pea pods: Sweet and tender, these are a true taste of spring.
- New potatoes: Small, waxy, and perfect for roasting or using in potato salads.
