The USDA inspects commodities of fruits and vegetables against 158 official grade standards. They express an item’s color, size, shape and other quality and condition characteristics. It gives the produce industry a common language for buying and selling. The different grades depend on the produce. They include extra fancy, fancy, number 1 and number 2, being the lowest quality. When you find produce with different prices at the fruit markets and grocery store, they may be just lower grades.

Soup is from the German root that produced the English “sup.” From the word sup we get supper. Like soup, it is a comfort sounding word as the qualities it brings out.
Most people say how much they like soups as a winter food. And yes, soups are great for winter, but they are good and good for you all year. Fall and winter are the seasons when we all need warmth inside and out. In the winter, soup is the warmth you get from simply cradling the bowl of hot soup in your hands.
As fall approaches we welcome our autumn traditions including Apple Butternut Squash, Mulligatawny, and Pumpkin Soup are among the favorites. Soup is also available for you catering, lunch, or meeting needs by the gallon.

A good old Italian Sub is among the favorites at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas & Subs. Starting with our Italian sub by the foot at Maceri’s Fruit Market back in 1984, we realized that a sub made with quality meats and cheeses and great produce was hard to find. Anthony created his secret recipe for catering out of our deli. He also made individual subs loaded with quality. The pita original was created in 1986. Pitas and Subs now come in a variety of 32 choices. Some of the favorites include Steak & Cheese and Grilled Chicken in many varieties, Breakfast Pitas, our homemade Corned Beef including Reubens, Turkey, and our Italian Pita and Sub. Pizza subs and pitas are also a favorite. They can also be made open face pita or sub made with our homemade pizza sauce. Subs are also available by the foot for any occasion. We also cater fresh salads, pasta, meatball, potatoes, vegetables, Italian Sausage, Italian breaded chicken with homemade ammoglio, cakes, and ice cream cakes.
