Fresh for You: What the Heck is Oca?

Fresh for You: What the Heck is Oca? pink and white root vegetable, Oca

Sometimes produce surprises us, in the best way. For the first time in over five years, oca has popped up in our produce department, and we’re a little giddy about it. This rosy, apricot-colored tuber is like a potato with personality: starchy, versatile, and naturally a little tangy. Roast it, fry it, steam it, or slice it raw into salads for a bright, lemony crunch. Oca is tricky to grow and rarely makes an appearance around here, so consider this a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it veggie moment. Grab some while it’s here and have a little fun with your roots!
