Working at Whole Foods Market, I’m often asked by friends and family to single out my top picks for olive oil, cereal or snack foods. This happens to all of us here. The funny thing is, we don’t mind. We ask one another for recommendations too. After all, with all this good stuff throughout the store, a little guidance helps.
Here are a few of the goodies we’re eating, drinking and recommending this month.
Like all the products we sell, they have passed the testing and tasting and met our strict Quality Standards opens in a new tab, meaning they’re free of hydrogenated fats and artificial preservatives, colors and flavors.
