Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods Market Inc. is one of the latest retailers to add a “Produce Butcher” to in-store services at select stores.
Hankey learned her trade at the French Culinary Institute, and says that her job brings unique challenges.
From the post:
“The reality is that I don't just prep fruits and veggies for people, I also give lots of tips on how to make plants the star of their meal rather than just a side dish.”
“We sell so many cool varieties of produce that it's common for someone to come up to me, holding a banan flower with this confused look on their face, asking me how they are possibly supposed to cook it. I love that I'm helping them feel more confident in the kitchen.”
Hankey offered food prep tips for three spring favorites, including artichokes, sugar snap peas and leeks.
