Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

December 4 - How to Use & Select Escarole:

Used fresh in salads, good quality escarole has bright and fairly even-colored green leaves.

Avoid product that has dark-green patches of slime or that has wilted or yellowing leaves. Also avoid escarole that displays insect damage, coarse stems, excessive dirt or poor development.

Available year-round, peaking December through April and declining July through September.
