Okay, so I know this isn't your typical news bit, but produce news is breaking news to me.
Last week, there were record low temperatures in the Imperial and Yuma Valleys, Mexico, and the Baja peninsula, so any vegetables that were not being grown in heated greenhouses have been damaged and might not see the light of the grocery store aisles this year. That means tomatoes and lettuce and radishes and spinach are all at stake here, people!
The good news is that kale, broccoli, chard, and cauliflower are all still safe and sound.
