Spring is in the air, and that means two major holidays are on the horizon: Easter and Passover. Both of these celebrations bring families together around food, making your produce department a key destination for shoppers. To help you maximize sales and delight your customers, let's take a look at five popular produce items to stock up on:
1. Asparagus:
Asparagus is a quintessential spring vegetable that's featured in many Easter and Passover meals. Its bright green color and delicate flavor make it a popular side dish.
2. Potatoes:
Potatoes are a staple for both holidays. For Easter, they're often roasted or mashed, while for Passover, potato-based dishes are a common alternative to leavened bread.
3. Carrots:
Carrots are another spring favorite, often used in Easter dishes like glazed carrots and carrot cake.
4. Herbs:
Fresh herbs add flavor and aroma to both Easter and Passover meals. Popular choices include parsley, dill, and cilantro.
