Organic produce from local growers, if you're lucky to have a grocery store or farmers market near you selling the stuff, is simply incredible. Even the lettuce is delicious with nothing on it.
I just spent winter away from my usual SF bay area haunts and have had to shop at a grocery store more along the lines of a Safeway with a small selection of overpriced corporate organics on a little island in the produce department. This stuff is maybe slightly better than the conventional produce sold alongside it, it's pretty awful, and really helps me appreciate why most of the public doesn't seem to see any difference with organic vs. conventional outside of the price.
It really is an exceptional privilege to have access to quality organic produce in the USA.
- wj 9y agoAgreed. Once I discovered it I realized that tomatoes from the farmer's market might as well have been a completely different fruit from the tomatoes at the grocery store as the taste difference was that striking. I went from being pretty indifferent about tomatoes to them being my favorite fruit/vegetable. Just in the last couple of years I have noticed the same with lettuce that I have been gifted from a neighbor's garden. I think I missed my window for planting it this year but plan to next year.
