[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The garlic in the dmv, just like all produce, can be incredibly hit and miss. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Just go to Whole Foods.[/quote]

I've said this for years. When we take a beach trip to NJ, we get great fresh produce. The garlic in almost all the grocery stores here is old and bitter. Fresh garlic can make or break a dish.

Whole Foods is a joke. I don't think their produce is much better. People just think there is some kind of magic dust sprinkled over everything WF that makes it healthier. In reality it is just marketing. [/quote]

We’re all cooks here…no one thinks Whole Foods produce has magic fairy dust. In my experience where I live, Rockville Whole Foods has a much better chance of success…like 70%. Compared to wegmans, giant and Safeway, which can be awfully frustrating and can force you drive around to multiple stores to find adequate staples like garlic, onions, basil, tomatoes, etc. like giant will have garlic but the onions and tomato’s will all be bad with flies, wegmans will have tomato’s and basil but the onions and garlic are garbage. You get my drift. That’s why I say just go to Whole Foods.[/quote]

Agree. I've tried many supermarkets but Whole Foods really wins hands down for quality and reliability of their produce. Their supply chain is amazing. What surprises me is that WF produce is also pretty price competitive yet people still go for Giant or Safeway produce. [/quote]
