ingredient guide.

the produce that shows up across our recipes, and why it's there. this list grows as the recipe archive does.

• beet

  earthy, sweet, holds up in heat better than most root veg.

• ginger

  the backbone of half our recipes — spice, digestion support, wakes everything up.

• blood orange

  citrus with more depth than a regular orange, in season through winter.

• green apple

  sweetness and fiber without tipping a recipe into dessert territory.

• mint

  grows almost anywhere in Gulf humidity — the easiest herb to keep on a porch.

• hibiscus

  dried petals, steeped hot or cold — tart, floral, and the base of teas across a dozen cultures.

• cucumber

  mostly water, cheap, and the easiest way to stretch a juice without diluting flavor.

• purple cabbage

  one of the few brassicas that thrives through late-summer humidity down here.
