Our new storefront, Living Produce Aisle, is the very first in its kind in the entire world. We grow fresh, healthy microgreens, vegetables, and herbs right at the space using Urban Cultivators. Those live greens are then sold by the flat, or, added to our salads or smoothies. It's an incredibly unique concept in that we're growing the very food we're selling. Not only is this never-before-heard-of concept appealing, though, but these live greens are also great for you. A crowd favorite is the Morning Sun—a refreshing drink that's perfect to start your day with. The sweet but tart smoothie has been a hit since the store opening. Here's what goes into LPA's Morning Sun smoothie:

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo It's that time of year again! Today is Cinco de Mayo, and though many celebrate it, not many know what it's really all about. Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Mexican victory against the French in the Battle of Puebla. For this decisive battle, the Mexicans were outnumbered—a paltry 2,000 poorly-equipped soldiers against the strong 6,000 French. On May 5th, the Mexicans crushed the French. And so, May 5th, or Cinco de Mayo, is a festive (and often boozy) day of celebrations. If you're looking to avoid the alcohol this year, or better yet, prepare your body accordingly for the upcoming drinks, try these fresh and festive recipes!

A cubano is exactly what you'd expect it to be—a sandwich that was first crafted by Cubans, for Cubans. This mouthwatering ham and cheese sandwich was put together with Cuban workers in early Cuban immigrant communities of Florida in mind. Still incredibly popular in the Key West area, Tampa, and Miami, the cubano is often filled with ham, roasted pork, pickles, mustard, Swiss cheese, and often other meats like salami. The bread is the selling point—Cuban bread—crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's so loved and influential that Tampa's city council designated the "Historic Tampa Cuban Sandiwch" as the "signature sandwich of the city of Tampa" in 2012. People love their cubanos. So, how do you go about making this legendary sandwich?
