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
