Whole Foods Tempe
Whole Foods Market in Tempe, AZ and enjoyed a tour with one of their chefs, Bethany and Theresa from Marketing. I don't usually shop at Whole Foods, but I've read about them and was very interested to learn more.The first thing I noticed when walking in the store was how beautiful the produce section was! The fresh vegetables and fruits were displayed in a way that made the color stand out and the store was bright and welcoming. We talked about Thanksgiving and Bethany offered to make some suggestions for our meal this week.
We started in the produce section and Bethany talked about her preference for organic foods. Whole Foods has a wide selection of organic produce and provides samples for many of their goods. Bo & Lydia sampled some of the organic Gala apples and both declared them delicious.Bethany asked if we have beets for Thanksgiving, and Bo & I looked at each other with a funny look. When I think of beets, I think of canned beets -- which I have never enjoyed.
These were fresh beets, however, and Bethany assured us that they were delicious when roasted. They had both yellow and red beets and I purchased a few of each to roast on Thursday. The recommended serving is about 1/4 lb raw beets per person -- less if you have a bunch of sides. The recipe she gave us for roasted beets is very simple!
