Want to really bump up your July 4th picnic or barbecue? Here are

some terrific ideas on how to make your menu even more fun and unique using these

excep'onal American ar'sanal ingredients.

(Not-So-Boring) Pasta Salad—trade up from everyday generic elbow pasta to a super fun

shape like Accordions from Baia Pasta. This spool shape is playful enough for kids and

delicious enough to impress any adult. Baia specializes in ar'sanal brass-extruded pasta

using the best Italian tradi'onal techniques and US organic flour. You can see the difference in color and

texture. Think of Baia as the best made Italian pasta (i.e. Rus�chella) but made locally, right here in Jack

London Square! Great ‘al dente’ texture. Perfect for a summer salad. We stock 6 fun shapes like the

Accordions #383510 above, all in 5 lb bulk boxes. Check out all their great recipes and press, including

what the Italians are saying about Baia Pasta at www.baiapasta.com!

Super Duper Bean Salad—Do you have a three-bean salad on the menu that needs a

liCle upda'ng? Our local farmer, Chip Morris of Elegant Beans & Beyond grows the

most colorful, creamy & delicious dried heirloom beans on the market, right here in

Lodi. Try Pebbles #275650 (different colors all from the same plant), Flor de Mayo

#275630 (also great for chili!) or Jacobs CaCle Gold #275620 for some eye catching

color. We stock 13 different varie'es in all, conveniently packed in 5 lb bags. We also stock organic dried Black Eyed

Peas #271612 & Garbanzo Beans #571001 from Koda Farms in the Central Valley. Both lines are super well priced be-

cause we buy direct!

Dressed To Impress Salads—How about making your dressings with either California Olive Ranch or Corto Olive Oil

and Sonoma Vinegar Works? What a great way to marry all your ingredients and flavors into one big local celebra'on

of flavors. Con�nued on page 2...

And there is another

birthday coming up next

month too!

France’s Bastille Day is

July 14th. To be a part of

the celebration, we

thought you might want

to know of all the French

& French-ish items we

stock at BiRite.
