The Associated Press reports that fires have damaged or destroyed at least a third of California’s crop in northern San Diego County. But our local expert, American Foodservice produce buyer Jeff Blackmon, says it’s not just the fires that pose the biggest threat. It’s the winds, which have been blowing new, young fruit off the trees. “This is the late December-early January crop,” he says. Only Mexico, the other major growing area, is expected to bring in a normal harvest. “Mexico’s in the driver’s seat for the next five or six months,” Mr. Blackmon says. Guacamole-lovers all over the country will be jockeying for what’s left of the fruit, which will drive the price higher for everyone. It might be time to start thinking chile con queso instead for the Super Bowl. |
