🍋 Lemons are shining bright in the kitchen!

Chefs, this zesty fruit is a must-have ingredient — adding brightness, acidity, and balance to every dish.

Use lemon juice and zest to elevate marinades, brighten sauces, and finish seafood or roasted veggies.

From cocktails to desserts, savory to sweet, lemons bring that perfect tang to your menu all year round.

Napa cabbage is the softer, sweeter cousin of traditional green cabbage — mild in flavor, tender in texture, and quick to cook. 🥬✨⁠

It’s a staple in kimchi, adds the perfect crunch to stir-fries, and works beautifully in soups, slaws, and wraps. Super versatile, always delicious, and it stays perfectly crisp even after cooking.⁠

Available locally at FreshPoint Central California.

Cauliflower is a versatile vegetable perfect for everything from creamy purees and roasted sides to crispy bites and vibrant salads.

Try roasting it with spices for a smoky depth, blending it into soups for silky texture, or turning it into a bold cauliflower steak for your next menu highlight.

The Ratto Brothers began in 1905, when Antone L. Ratto—son of Italian immigrants—began delivering fresh vegetables around Bay Farm Island near Oakland, CA, using a humble horse-drawn cart.⁠

Over the years, Antone’s five sons grew up working the land, inspired by their father’s passion. In 1957, they joined forces to create the Ratto Bros. partnership, carrying on the family farming legacy.⁠

⁠Today, the Ratto Bros. proudly supply FreshPoint Central California with fresh, high-quality veggies like Napa cabbage, curly parsley, beets, and much more. ⁠
