hatch Green Chiles
Grown in Hatch, New Mexico, where hot days, cool nights and rich
volcanic soil give these peppers a unique flavor. Hatch Green Chiles
are harvested in late July and August only.
We’re roasting Hatch Chiles throughout the month of July. For
our complete roasting schedule and to find out when we will be
roasting at a store near you, visit
Tomatoes
Tomatoes, like snowbirds, appreciate hot summer weather. Enjoy
red, gold and purple tomatoes plain, with a sprinkling of salt and
pepper, on white bread spread with mayonnaise, on sandwiches and
salads, and stewed with another summer favorite, okra.
“Never store tomatoes in the refrigerator; the cold will
destroy their flavor and make them mealy. Instead, store
them at room temperature out of direct sunlight. Use
within four or five days of purchasing. ”

lori Anne peaches
Available exclusively at Rouses
Grown in the sunny peach orchards of Titan Farms in Ridge
Springs, South Carolina, these peaches have a soft, fuzzy exterior
and sweet, tender flesh. Titan Farms leaves these prized peaches
on the tree longer than regular peaches, so they have more time to
mature and become tender.
Amaize Sweet Corn
Available exclusively at Rouses
This rare breed of white Idaho sweet corn is prized for its deliciously
sweet flavor and crunch-and-pop texture. Amaize
is so sweet and
tender you can eat it raw.
okra
In the colder months, we use okra to thicken gumbo, but in the
summer, when it’s at its peak, we’re all about frying okra or sautéing
it. Try dipping fried okra in Ranch dressing, or even using as a salad
topping, the way you would fried shrimp or oysters.
