Look what's new 👀✨
📸 2: Midwest Juicery Juices! Since our own line of Willy Street Co-op juice ceased production, we decided to bring in this relative newcomer to the fresh juice world. Midwest Juicery is 100% organic, cold-pressed raw juice that is pressed in Michigan and further processed and bottled in Wisconsin.
📸 3: Zia Tortilla Nixtamal Tortilla Chips! Nixtamalization is an ancient process that involves soaking and cooking the corn in ash, mineral lime, or calcium to remove the outer cover from the kernel. This reduces mycotoxins by 97-100%, increases the bioavailability of amino acids, produces bio-available niacin, and enhances the absorption of key minerals when digested. Nixtamalization also improves the texture, aroma, and most importantly, flavor—yum!
📸 4: Organic Girl Salads! Since 2007, Organic Girl set out to change the salad greens industry, dedicating themselves to finding better ways to grow, package and deliver a wide variety of premium greens full of flavor and loaded with personality. All of their products are 100% Certified organic since day one. The greens are triple-washed so you can enjoy right out of the package—which is made of 100% recycled plastic and ready to be recycled!

Serious news 🗞 we have a citrus sale, a citrus guide, and a citrus report for you 🍊
🍋 All citrus is 20% OFF for Owners this week, 1/6–1/12 while supplies last.
🍋 We've made a handy dandy citrus guide to help you find your favorite winter fruit (and what to try next). For the full guide go to the January Reader 🔗 in our bio.
🍋 Andy, our Produce Category Manager, wrote a Citrus Report in our January Reader. He says, "[Citrus season] is one of my favorite seasons in the Produce department. Every day we’re getting fresh citrus shipments from our distributors, who work with a number of growers in California’s Central Valley, coastal, and desert regions to bring us the best organically grown citrus. We check each box and sample a piece of each variety that’s arriving. We want to know what’s really good so we can help you choose the citrus that’s right for you!"
