Item Highlights
Parsnips
Parsnips are a versatile root vegetable with a subtly sweet, nutty flavor and creamy texture that make them a favorite for hearty seasonal dishes. Resembling pale carrots, parsnips thrive in cooler climates, and their natural sugars develop further after a frost, enhancing their rich and comforting taste. A staple in kitchens for centuries, they’ve been celebrated for their ability to elevate both rustic and refined recipes.
Whether roasted to caramelized perfection, mashed for a velvety side dish, or pureed into warming soups, parsnips bring depth and sweetness to your meals. They pair beautifully with spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and cumin, as well as savory ingredients like garlic, thyme, and browned butter. Packed with fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, they’re not only delicious but also incredibly nutritious. Versatile and satisfying, parsnips are a must-have ingredient for both traditional and creative cooking.

Askinosie Davao, Philipines 58% Dark Chocolate + Orange
The story of Askinosie started when Shawn Askinosie quit his successful law practices and suddenly fell in love with making chocolate from scratch. He dumped his entire life savings into starting a US based craft chocolate company and started traveling to remote regions of Ecuador, Tanzania, and the Amazon searching for exotic cocoa beans and small farmers to share the profits with. Fast forward to today and Askinosie Chocolate is one of the best and most widely recognized specialty chocolates in the US.
This bar strikes the perfect balance between rich, smooth dark chocolate and the bright, zesty notes of orange. The citrus flavor is lively yet harmonizes seamlessly with the chocolate’s creamy depth, making it both refreshing and indulgent. Ideal for savoring on its own or pairing with coffee or dessert wines, this bar is a flavorful reflection of Askinosie’s dedication to craftsmanship and innovation.
