Produce
There are the tomatoes and the potatoes of the veggie world, and then there are the others - lesser known, out of the ordinary, not easily available and almost elitist. But nothing out of reach if you are at the Gourmet Station fruit and vegetables counter, 'specialty' is a given! It is where quality vegetables from across the world share aisle space.
