The Power of Tepache
Pronounced “teh-pah-che,” this fabulous fermented probiotic beverage has been made in Mexico for centuries! Thousands of versions of tepache exist regionally but at the core of it all, the recipe is based on fermented pineapples. To be more precise: pineapple, pineapple rinds, cinnamon and sugar with endless variations of spices and regional fruits like mango, oranges or pomelo. Until recently, tepache was mostly found in Mexico in Tepacherias alongside street food vendors. Now you can find it at your local Nugget Markets!

California Pear Party
From early summer to fall, you can find California-grown pears at your local Nugget Markets. Many Golden State growers are fourth and fifth generation farmers along the Sacramento River Delta and up north in Mendocino and Lake County, some with trees over 100 years old still producing fruit to this day! The cooling nighttime temperatures in the Delta’s lowland levees along the river and orchard-lined hills of Mendocino are the perfect climate to make the perfect pear.
