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.
Using the finest quality produce in our recipies insures the best results. Serving from a very wide variety of homemade soups, we have to depend on the best. Maceri produce is received daily locally, from across the country, and around the world direct to the family’s warehouse in Detroit’s eastern market. Anthony being a produce veteran for over 40 years knows how to pick the finest. It is a critical job, but we at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas, Subs, and Catering depend on it.
Maceri’s Soup & Scoop is located in Shelby Twp., Mi. serving the surround areas throughout Metro Detroit with the finest produce available. We also deliver. 586-566-7484. www.soup-scoop.com
