No doubt all of us have had a difficult time dealing with months of COVID stress and seclusion, and most recently dealing with the realities of our country’s racial tensions. I see this as an opportune time in our country to accept one another, our differences, and similarities. By sharing, supporting, and loving thy neighbor, we bring good “chi” which in traditional Chinese culture, is believed to be a vital force forming part of any living entity. I feel blessed as to be Chef Ambassador, part of a diversified family of Fullei Fresh employees who not only respect each other for who we are, but to have the honor of sharing nourishing thoughts, feelings, prayers, and sprouts with all of you. A New Beginning With summer at our doorstep, this is also a wonderful time to bring positive chi to our bodies by diversifying our dishes with new farm fresh vegetables, seasonings, preparation methods and of course delicious Fullei Fresh sprouts. By visiting and supporting your local farmers in Homestead and the Redlands, and our multicultural Asian, Caribbean, and Latin markets, you will not only support our local small business communities but find an entire world of new flavors, inspiring you to wake up your body to all the possibilities with just a few simple ingredients.
