Developed more than 30 years ago by an organic chemist, ShiKai hair care products help keep hair healthy using shikakai plant extracts, known for their ability to leave hair clean, silky, soft and shiny. Made right up the road from our stores in Santa Rosa, California, one of my favorite ShiKai products is the Color Reflect line of shampoos and conditioners.
You may have heard Oprah or Dr. Oz mention the wonders of the neti pot. For the uninitiated, some research has indicated that using a neti pot may help to reduce sinus congestion and other symptoms of allergies or cold. (Always consult with a medical professional before beginning any treatment.) If you’re in the market for one, look no further: Baraka makes awesome neti pots, and they’re produced locally in Sebastopol, California!
What started out in 1946 as a family operation in San Pablo, California, has grown into a company that produces one of our most sought–after barbecue sauces.
We love these sauces from local restaurant chain Lemon Grass Kitchen because they are super–flavorful and so easy to use at home. Try the Lemon Grass Green Curry and Lemon Grass Ginger sauces to give your stir–fries, rice dishes and dips a real kick, or try my personal favorite, the Lemon Grass Yellow Curry Sauce.
If you are looking for fresh, local, organic chicken, look no further. In our meat departments at Nugget Markets, we proudly offer Rosie Organic air–chilled chicken. Petaluma Poultry raises their chickens on ranches located in Sacramento, Yolo and Sonoma counties, and they deliver fresh Rosie chickens directly to Nugget Market stores three times a week!
This just in: Ruhstaller California Red Ale, from one of Sacramento’s first premium craft breweries, founded in 1881.
At Nugget Markets, we strive to use the best local produce in our kitchens, 365 days a year (or, as is the case in 2012, 366 days!). At different times of the year, you will find dishes in our deli case that incorporate leeks, beets, eggplant, tomatoes, squash and other delicious produce items, all grown locally.
Just because you’re gluten intolerant doesn’t mean you have to live without Nugget Markets’ delicious deli sandwiches! Did you know that in our delis you can request gluten–free bread for your sandwich?
Next time you’re at Nugget Markets, stop by the bakery and say hi to your store’s artisan baker (tip: they’re easy to spot—they’re the ones covered in flour!). Each of our stores has at least two artisan bakers who have spent a minimum of two weeks of intensive training in their craft, and two more weeks apprenticed to a veteran artisan baker, before they take the reins on their own.
The Botran family has been making rum in Guatemala for six decades. This Reserva won a Gold Medal at the Ministry of Rum's 2010 tasting competition. It is a blend of rums aged 5 to 14 years using the same multi-barrel aging process as their Solera.
