From Baja and Tex- as, to the eastern seaboard, hurricanes and extreme weather conditions have and continue to impact major growing areas. This situation will cause dramatic market fluctuations from coast to coast. Expect escalated pricing, tight market supplies on many key items and incon- sistent to poor quality on available supplies. Early guesses have this to be the produce news at least through mid-January. We will stay close to the FLORIDA~ We will see a very active market and potential supply interruptions on all east coast vegetable items due to the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. Several of our partner growers have sustained severe damage to infrastructure, as well as crops. Fortunately, the forecast calls for favorable weather in the region over the next several days, which will assist in the recovery process. We expect to see very active markets over the next two to three months due to the damage of the fall crops in North Florida and South Georgia. We are anticipate a bold recovery pro- cess with federal funds aiding cleanup. Shortages expected to last 60 – 70 days, a typical growing cycle, minimum, if sufficient labor and plantings are available. Products primarily affected: Tomatoes, Green Onions, Green Beans, Cucumbers & Chile Peppers. Prices will likely increase as there is more demand on the West Coast to supply the East Coast with product. Georgia and South Carolina experienced heavy rains that took a toll on other major crops such as bell peppers. Expect a bump on tight supplies. MEXICO~ The aftermath of Tropical Storm Franklin and continued sporadic rains have product shortages expected to last two to three more weeks before there is any recovery. Escalated prices continue. Products primarily affected: Avocados, Asparagus & Limes. The avocado market is at historically high levels. Demand has not let up, forcing supplies to raise markets to higher levels. Sizing is still peaking on 60’s. Mexico’s new main crop is now expected to start in October versus the predicted late-September time frame. More time is required for the maturity level of the fruit to increase before they start harvesting. Asparagus volume out of Northern Baja s light due to rains last week, affecting yields. Due to Hurricane Irma, nothing has arrived from Peru since late last week. Limes struggle with quality and harvest conditions. CALIFORNIA~ ALL growing regions experienced extended, excessive heat and extraordinary high temperatures over the last few weeks. Shortages and gaps will last until transition. We expect abnormal market conditions through Thanksgiving. Products primarily affected: Citrus, Tomatoes, ALL Lettuces, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cilantro and Berries. Product quality is most affected, along with supply volumes. With east coast demand kicking in, shippers will begin to pack all available product, however marginal. There is a shortage on citrus supplies (extreme markets on lemons and oranges) with a gap expected between Valencia oranges ending and Navels getting started. Strawberry supplies will be limited for the next week or more. The extremely hot record setting temperatures in the growing areas has wreaked havoc with supplies and quality. There is crop loss, quality issues and low production to contend with.

Species [2] See text For the fruit, see: Chili pepper For the heat simulating chemical in Chili pepper, see: Capsaicin Capsicum is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Its species are native to the Americas, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years by the people of the tropical Americas, and are now cultivated worldwide. Some of the members of Capsicum are used as spices, vegetables, and medicines. The fruit of Capsicum plants have a variety of names depending on place and type. They are commonly called chilli pepper, red or green pepper, or sweet pepper in Britain, and typically just capsicum in Australian, New Zealand, and Indian English. The large mild form is called bell pepper in the U.S. and Canada. They are called paprika in some other countries (although paprika can also refer to the powdered spice made from various capsicum fruit). The generic name is derived from the Greek word καπτο (kapto), meaning "to bite" or "to swallow."[3] The original Mexican term, chilli (now chile in Mexico) came from the Nahuatl word chilli or xilli, referring to a larger Capsicum variety cultivated at least since 3000 BC, as evidenced by remains found in pottery from Puebla and Oaxaca.[4] ''Capsicum'' 2 Capsaicin in capsicum The fruit of most species of Capsicum contains capsaicin (methyl vanillyl nonenamide), a lipophilic chemical that can produce a strong burning sensation in the mouth of the unaccustomed eater.

    Gnocchi with Sausage & Savoy Cabbage Gnocchi is a special type of pasta (typically made from potato, flour and egg) that dates back to 14th Century Italy. The small ridges on the gnocchi are great for picking up the lightly spicy sauce in this dish, delivering more flavor in every bite. You’ll also be using savoy cabbage, a delicate, earthy variety with crinkly leaves and a delicious crunch. As always with fresh pasta, store it in the refrigerator until just before you’re ready to cook.

    DALMATIAN COOKING: CUISINE OF THE SLAVIC MEDITERRANEAN PDF, EPUB, EBOOK John J Goddard | 274 pages | 17 Oct 2012 | Createspace | 9781468166187 | English | United States About Croatia — Fešta - The Croatian Food & Wine Festival Brudet , brodet or brodeto is a fish stew made in Croatian regions of Dalmatia, Kvarner and Istria, as well as along the coast of Montenegro. It consists of several types of fish stewed with spices and red wine, and the most important aspect of brudet is its simplicity of preparation and the fact that it is typically prepared in a single pot. It is usually served with polenta which soaks up the fish broth, while other recipes serve it with potatoes or bread. Brudets can significantly vary in style, composition and flavor, depending upon the types of ingredients and cooking styles used. Kulen is a type of flavoured sausage made of minced pork that is traditionally produced in Croatia Slavonia and Serbia Vojvodina. In parts of Slavonia, kulen is called kulin in Ikavian accent. The meat is low-fat, rather brittle and dense, and the flavour is spicy with the hot red paprika bringing it aroma and colour, and garlic for additional spice. The original kulen recipe does not contain black pepper; its hot flavour comes from the paprika. The traditional time of producing kulen is during the pig slaughter done every autumn by most households. Kulen matures during the winter; it can be eaten at this time, although not fully dried and cured yet, with very hot taste, but it will develop its full taste by the following summer.
