PSA: Tu B’Shvat on Thursday

It’s Tu B’Shvat already, and Mr. Greens on Albany Ave is well prepared. As everyone searches for a new fruit to make a Shehecheyanu on, Mr. Greens has arranged for a wide variety of exotic and delicious fruit for any palate.

Goji Berries

Goji berries are tiny red fruits packed with antioxidants and powerful medicinal properties. They’re not only great for adding a pop of color to your plate but also delicious and full of flavor. These berries are often sold powdered or dried. Plus, they’re added to many supplements and juice blends.

Kosher Organic Black Garlic

A first time in Mr. Greens, Black Garlic is sweet meets savory, a perfect mix of molasses-like richness and tangy garlic undertones. It has a tender, almost jelly-like texture with a melt-in-your-mouth consistency similar to a soft dried fruit. It also lacks some of the less loved side effects of regular garlic.

Finger Lime

While actually Shehakol, these exotic limes are the perfect glamorous boost for a fish plate or salad. The tiny pods inside the limes can be spread through a dish, giving a delicious taste of fresh lime with every bite.
