Happy days are here again! Figueroa Produce, the small, independent grocer that specializes in produce in Highland Park, now carries sliceable vegan Daiya cheese in both mozzarella and cheddar flavors. Hooray!!! If you aren't a Daiya fan, they also carry Follow Your Heart, ready to slice. They slice it any thickness - we got our Daiya sliced paper thin. Oh my. It is delish. I never thought I'd have cheese in that form again once I went vegan. I can't wait to eat it on a cracker.
The best news? Figueroa Produce sells their sliced Daiya at $6.99/pound. Great price! They also sell it shredded.
Figueroa Produce also has a nice, growing organic fruit and vegetable section.
Much of the organic produce is from the South Central Farmers. They have a wide range of organic produce to choose from - potatoes, apples, bananas, kale, chard, collards, squash, broccoli.
Much of the organic produce is from the South Central Farmers. They have a wide range of organic produce to choose from - potatoes, apples, bananas, kale, chard, collards, squash, broccoli. They are trying to court more vegan customers, and they are totally open to expanding their vegan repertoire. On the horizon are vegan deli sandwiches. They also have two vegan sections in the refrigerated section.
Please support this local, independent, vegan-friendly business! The owners are super nice and are very open to vegan suggestions.
