Produce Buzzers - A Podcast for Lovers of Fresh Fruits and Veggies
Avocados have gone from a once-in-a-while specialty item to a full-blown cultural phenomenon. From toast to tacos, smoothies to sushi rolls, consumers just can't seem to get enough of this creamy green superfruit. But even in a category as popular as avocados, innovation never stops.This week, we're diving into the future of avocados with Gary Caloroso, Regional Business Development Director of The Giumarra Companies, one of the largest shippers of avocados in the U.S. He joins us to talk about an exciting newer avocado variety called GEM—an avocado that's generating a lot of buzz for its flavor, appearance, growing advantages, and potential to complement the dominant Hass variety.We'll explore what makes the GEM avocado unique, how consumers are responding to it, and why new avocado varieties matter in a fast-growing category where demand continues to soar year after year. Along the way, we'll also talk about avocado trends, merchandising, nutrition, sustainability, and where the avocado industry may be headed in the future.
This month we are delighted to be joined by our colleague from Global Development Studies at the University of Helsinki, María Soledad Paz. Her research looks at the interplay of water and avocado plantations in central Chile. Currently, water is being diverted from rivers to feed the avocados which has deleterious effects on the land and the community that is dependent on the land. Small holder farmers are no longer able to sustain their livelihoods and local production while on the next hill the avocado plantations are thriving because they take the water. This area is an area in Chile where agro-extractivism runs rampant as most of the agricultural produce is exported at the expense of the land and people in place. María introduces us to some of the deeper issues with what is happening where avocados are produced which are not always considered when avocados are being consumed in Europe. We explore this disconnection in depth. Join us for this wide ranging and interesting conversation!Interested to check out María's work? https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/mar%C3%ADa-soledad-paz/

When you're feeling a little blue, eating to feel better can be an appealing proposition. But the reality is we often turn to junk food or sugary treats that are high in calories and packed with salt or saturated fats.

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, we celebrate creativity, courage, and the power of stories to help families connect. First, Jed welcomes 12-year-old author and YouTuber Bella Olson, creator of the Avocado Awesomeness channel and debut middle grade novel "Trapped" (Simon & Schuster). Bella shares how she began writing the book at just seven years old, and how the story follows a girl imprisoned by the evil Dr. Heinous in a mysterious facility. Along the way, the heroine meets unforgettable characters like Luna, Maya, and Rocco the magic chicken—many inspired by Bella's real-life friends. Bella talks about juggling school, dance, YouTube, and writing, her excitement at landing a major publisher, and how families can CO-read Trapped and talk about favorite scenes, inventions, and characters. Next, in our Story Keepers segment, Schuyler Minckler from Elm Street Books in New Canaan, Connecticut, gives listeners a tour of her cozy indie bookstore. She describes creaky floors, well-loved shelves, and a children's section designed for browsing and discovery. Schuyler offers down-to-earth advice for nurturing a love of reading, from reading aloud well into the teen years to embracing graphic novels, series, and kid-led choices. Finally, returning guest Suzanne Jacobs Lipshaw introduces her deeply moving middle grade novel "Decoding The Moon." Drawing on her son's real-life rock climbing fall and her own experience with loss, Suzanne weaves a story of two brothers navigating grief, autism, fear, and new beginnings in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. With secret codes, rock climbing, and super moons, Decoding The Moon becomes both an adventure and a compassionate guide for families facing big emotions and big changes.

What kind of fruit was designed to be swallowed whole by giant sloths? How did a sacred Mesoamerican tree become the green badge of millennial brunch culture? And how did a humble postman's backyard seedling end up conquering global agriculture?Join John and Patrick as they trace the astonishing history of the avocado - from the forests of ancient Mexico and the courts of the Maya and Aztec, to the chandeliers of the Alexandria Hotel, the rise of Calavo, and the accidental genius of Rudolph Hass. Along the way: plant explorers, freezes that nearly wiped out an industry, marketing masterstrokes, cartel violence in Michoacán, and the birth of the Super Bowl guacamole ritual.This is not just the story of a fruit. It's a tale of extinction and survival, empire and branding, crime and cultivation - a relic of the Pleistocene that somehow became the taste of modernity.----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review-----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Instagram, TikTok, Threads:@historyoffreshproduceEmail: historyoffreshproduce@gmail.com
In this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, hosts Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent break down a volatile week in global logistics where political shifts and cartel violence are fundamentally redrawing the map of North American trade. The discussion centers on the "green gold" wars at the border, exploring a high-stakes reality where cross-border freight has shifted from a capacity challenge to a survival mission. Following the killing of a major cartel boss, violence along U.S.-Mexico freight corridors has surged, prompting shelter-in-place orders for U.S. citizens and a spike in cargo theft. Adding to the complexity, the hosts analyze the economic ripples of President Trump's new 10% global tariff, implemented in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that blocked emergency trade powers. Shifting focus from the border to the facility, Justin Malone, Director of Field Safety at The Miner Corporation, joins the show to highlight why the loading dock—rather than the open highway—is often the most dangerous part of an operation. Malone breaks down the "handoff" moment where communication between drivers and facilities frequently fails, leading to life-threatening risks. He dives deep into the phenomenon of "trailer creep," explaining why this silent killer occurs and how basic safety tools like wheel chocks and dock locks are often dangerously ignored or misused. The conversation then turns toward the financial core of logistics technology with Matthew Everson, SVP of Sales & Marketing at IntelliTrans. Everson challenges the industry's current obsession with visibility, arguing that tracking dashboards can become "money pits" if they aren't balanced against carrier economics. He asserts that the true financial center of gravity for shippers lies in carrier performance and selection, focusing on the specific KPIs that actually drive profitability. Amidst this tech-heavy discussion, Everson also notes Nashville's rise as a critical emerging hub for both logistics and technology. The episode rounds out with a look at major industry headlines, starting with a judge's approval of $150,000 UPS driver buyouts. The hosts debate whether this move signals a strategic labor reset or serves as a warning sign for the broader industry. Finally, the team covers the immediate logistical impact of a massive winter blizzard that has ground container terminals to a halt at major Northeast ports, adding further strain to an already pressured supply chain.

Would you risk your health for a slice of week-old turkey, or trust your iPhone to cure your motion sickness? This episode of dives headfirst into the quirks and questions that make everyday life so entertaining! Join Sandy and Tricia as they kick off with a playful debate on the best (and worst) email signatures—would you sign off with “You'll never take me alive”? The duo then tackles the post-Thanksgiving dilemma: just how long can you push the limits on leftovers before you're playing bacterial roulette? Sandy shares a Reader's Digest tip that might just save your life: “You should not store your leftovers in aluminum foil because it could kill you. Probably not actually going to kill you. That's kind of the extreme version of it.” The conversation spirals into hilarious family stories, with Tricia recalling, “The food was prepared and then the food set out on the counter in the serving dishes all day and people walked by and got bites all day long. I don't recall anybody in my family ever getting food poisoning or dying from food poisoning because it sat out for a while.” But the fun doesn't stop there! Discover the latest iPhone feature that claims to ease motion sickness—will Tricia dare to look at her phone while feeling queasy? “That goes against everything in my brain because the idea of looking at my phone in a car instantly makes me want to throw up,” she confesses, promising to try the new trick for science. The episode also features a rapid-fire round of “Care or Don't Care,” where Sandy and Tricia debate the merits (and horrors) of fish pedicures, Christopher Columbus's questionable mermaid sightings, and the jaw-dropping number of avocados Chipotle uses daily. “He thought that manatees were mermaids on his first journey to America and he wrote in his journal in 1493 that he saw three mermaids but wrote, ‘They're not so beautiful as they're said to be.'” Packed with laughter, relatable mishaps, and surprising facts, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves witty banter and real-life adventures.

How did the Avocado become the toast of the nation? The humble tropical fruit is now common in supermarkets, but even in the 1980s many Americans had never seen an avocado, much less tasted one. How did this once obscure alligator pear come to occupy a central spot in American culture?

When most people think of Sicily, images of citrus spring to mind: lemons, oranges, mandarins. For centuries these fruits defined the island's agricultural identity. Even Sicilian ceramics that often overflow with lemons and blood oranges. But today, something unexpected is ripening under the Sicilian sun: avocados. This isn't the first time Italy has embraced an outsider and eventually made it feel essential. Tomatoes were once considered poisonous, corn and potatoes were foreign intruders, and citrus itself was introduced to Sicily by the Arabs in the Middle Ages. Over time, all of these became cornerstones of Italian cuisine. Sicilian Avocados may be following the same path. Listen for the details, along with recipes!

Today, we're going to investigate the truth about avocados, avocado oil, and your health. When avocados arrive at the grocery store, they're often put into a gas chamber and artificially ripened with ethylene gas. The artificial ripening process leaves this superfood devoid of phytonutrients. One research study evaluated 22 different brands of avocado oil and discovered that many products were oxidized, which can cause inflammation. Surprisingly, many products were actually fake avocado oil, mainly composed of soy and canola oils.Approximately 82% of avocado oil is not what it says it is! In the US, there are no official rules on avocado oil or a legally binding definition of the avocado oil extraction process. This has opened the door for corruption.Some avocado oil products contain no avocado oil at all! The origins of your avocado oil can also be misleading. A product can be labeled “product of the US”, but grown and blended elsewhere, as long as the final product is bottled in the US. Avocado oil doesn't always have an expiration or production date, making it difficult to determine how long it's been sitting on the shelf.Fast food guacamole does not contain much avocado. It's often replaced with green peas, hydrogenated oils, and food starches. Cosmetics also claim to use avocado oil, yet soy, palm, and mineral oils are usually listed first on the ingredient list. If you want to buy avocado oil, look for the following:•Dark, glass bottle •Expiration date •Avoid the cheapest brand•Look for the harvest date•Look for green-colored oilWhen choosing avocados, look for Californian varieties, such as the Hass variety. Avoid the cheaper, shiny, bagged varieties. Avocados can be an incredibly healthy food if you choose the right ones. They contain healthy fats, minimal omega-6 fats, and are a rich source of potassium and magnesium.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
