Friday Food Facts

Right now, Yuma farmers are producing so many fresh leafy greens, they’re supplying about 130 million servings to the U.S. and Canada every single day. Annually, when you add California that translates to 50 billion servings for our two countries.

The U.S. supplies 25% of the world’s beef with 10% of the world’s cattle. Some of Arizona’s ranchers are 5^th– and 6^th-generation ranch families. Put some steaks on the grill this weekend.

Our Arizona farms grow a world-renowned wheat loved by international markets – Desert Durum Wheat! Italy loves our Desert Durum for pasta making! So, if you sit down to a pasta dinner tonight it’s probably from Arizona-grown wheat.

The Vintage date on a bottle of wine indicates the year the grapes were picked, not the year of bottling. Arizona’s wine industry has 5 regions representing our state’s award-winning wines! Have you tried any Arizona wine lately?

June is Dairy Month! Arizona’s thousands of dairy cows provide us with the freshest milk, cheese, and yogurt. On average, a dairy cow will produce 7 gallons of milk each day. Remember too, 97% of your milk in the grocery store is coming from our local Arizona Dairies.
