Joe Pulicicchio, Director of Promotions & Produce and Floral for Town & Country Markets returns to share his deep knowledge of fresh fruits and vegetables where they come from and how they get to our grocery shelves.

In this monthly discussion, Joe shares more information about grapes and especially the importance of texture when selecting and eating them.  He also explains how to tell if a melon has been picked at peak flavor by checking out what the stem attachment looks like. We also spend some time on asparagus, peppers and avocados with a few thoughts on how to eat them.
