UPDATE: TENDER LEAF ITEMS
August 31, 2020
Due to recent warm weather, tender leaf quality and supply levels have been affected.
- Dehydration, early breakdown, shortened shelf-life, and yellowing leaves are quality-related concerns due to higher-than-normal temperatures
- Spinach is especially susceptible to heat-related defects; volume has been greatly impacted by recent heat waves
- Expect tight supplies through mid-September as more hot weather is expected in the Salinas Valley over the next week
