Taste Local- Royal Oaks Own Zúmba Salsa

Loco for a Local Salsa
Livonia, Michigan native and owner of Zúmba Mexican Grille of Royal Oak, Tim Castañeda is proud of his local roots. Tim says,” I remember doing food at the Livonia Spree every year from the time I was about eight, until my early twenties. In addition to the Spree memories, most of his parents employees from those days went to Bentley High School in Livonia. “When you own a restaurant, you DO live in the community that you serve,” said the Grille owner.

Committed to Owning A Local Business
The Grille owner has also participated in the Culinary Extravaganza at Schoolcraft College at least six times in past years with his parent’s original restaurants. The family’s last location in West Bloomfield, closed about nine years ago. Then they opened Old Mexico at Five Mile Road and Harrison Street in 1975. The family’s first place was on Grand River and Lasher (Old Redford area of Detroit) in 1972.

To say your local is one thing, but to truly BE local is another. With a rich culinary and community history Zúmba’s new items, Fresh Salsa, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo and Margarita Mix are handcrafted with passion, knowledge and a willingness to stand behind the quality of their products. “When your selling products to friends and neighbors, you need to make sure your giving them quality,” states Castañeda.

You’ll find Zumba products at our Livonia, Berkley and Dearborn Store Locations.

Lettuce Recalled Due To Salmonella Risk

Identified Source –
A major California lettuce grower has recalled about 22,000 cartons of romaine lettuce over concerns that the product may be tainted with salmonella.
Tanimura & Antle Inc. of Salinas issued the voluntary recall Wednesday for cartons of bulk or wrapped romaine marked with the lot code 531380.

The lettuce was harvested between June 25 and July 2, and sold to retail, wholesale and food service outlets across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Westborn Market Sources –
Currently ALL Westborn Market Romaine Lettuce is purchased from Local Michigan Farmers. Our Red Romaine Lettuce is from California but, from D' Arrigo Bros. Company of California which is NOT the same grower as the grower involved with the current recall.

The Ears of Michigan Are Upon Us!

We here in the great state of Michigan have been harvesting sweet corn for a month now, and thanks to the goodly growing season we experience in the great lakes state, we'll continue to see it harvested for another two months! Now that's fresh!

Selection and Care:
When buying corn, choose ears with medium-sized kernels. Very small kernels are immature, and large kernels have a starchy taste, rather than a sweet one. The husk of the corn should be moist and green. Leaving husks on when storing corn preserves the flavor. At room temperature the glucose in corn will convert to starch in as little as 24 hours. Therefore, refrigeration of this vegetable is critical for maintaining freshness.

Did You Know:

• Michigan produced over 10,000 acres of sweet-corn in the year 2000 for fresh consumption alone?
• One ear of corn averages 800 kernels in 16 rows. A pound of corn consists of approximately 1,300 kernels?
• An acre of corn yielding 100 bushels has about 7,280,000 kernels?
• Sweet corn is rich in vitamin C, iron, thiamine and riboflavin, not to mention fiber?

Michigan Corn is Finally Here

Summer in Michigan would not be complete without fresh local vegetables: peas straight from the vine, sweet corn cooked the day it was picked, red ripe tomatoes, and other garden favorites.
Well, the Michigan Sweet Corn is finally here. Delivered straight to us from Ruhlig's Farms in Carleton Michigan this is a crowd favorite.

Flat, Sweet and Happy - The Donut Peach

These squat, white-fleshed peaches are called by many names nowadays. You may hear them referred to as Donuts, Saturns or Saucers. They are descended from the flat peaches of China and were first grown in America in the late 1800s. They generally run up to 3 1/2 inches in diameter with a flat, round look that draws down and in at the center. The skin will be a pale yellow with a red blush. You can judge ripeness on this peach from both touch and smell. The aroma will increase as it nears perfection and the skin will yield when you squeeze it. I find that you don't want to let this fruit get too soft but should eat it when it begins to give to your touch but still has some firmness. These unique white peaches will be succulent and sweet. They will continue to get better as we go forward into July. Enjoy them for they are a taste of the wonderful California summer!
Only $2.99lb these are a great summer treat.
