South Texas replaces Colorado as a vegetable source with okra and Kentucky Wonder beans. Squash scarce now, soon abundant. Citrus fruits arrive next weekend, California oranges paused until new navel crop in about 30 days. Hot sauces and peppers arrive now, prepackaged greens coming soon. Frozen cantaloupe prepped for fruit cups, vine ripened and hand scooped. Synthetic flavors expand pantry with nutmeg and cinnamon extracts and banana flavoring. Sage extract and imitation black walnut flavor noted from wartime production history.
