Description
xOur favorite mermaid snack is back. Green Gems is greener than ever. She's loaded with locally-foraged mineral-rich kombu to support your digestive and immune systems, packed with flavorful green Hatch chiles, and stuffed with as many garlic scapes as we could fit in our car. What are garlic scapes? Garlic scapes are the long flowering ends sprouting from the hard neck varieties of garlic plants, which farmers will prune in order to send the plant’s energy back to the underground bulb. Once considered a weed and simply thrown away, scapes are now a magical addition to our already overflowing Sonoma County cornucopia, only available for a fleeting moment in late spring or early summer.
This year’s recipe includes sweet and spicy Chesnok Red scapes from Bernier Farms, grown in the Dry Creek region just outside of the town of Healdsburg. The Berniers have been the authority on all things garlic since 1976, and this chili crisp showcases their prized scapes as a crown jewel in Hei Ma's Green Gems.
Ingredients: olive oil, garlic scapes, peanuts, sesame seeds, shallots, green chile flakes, garlic powder, pumpkin seeds, dried kombu, apple cider vinegar powder, brown sugar, Sichuan peppercorns, sea salt, ginger, spinach powder, cumin, white pepper, green cardamom, fennel seeds.
CONTAINS: Peanuts & Sesame
Heat level: Mild
A small step up in heat from previous years, when the recipe contained a standard New Mexico green chile. The Hatch chiles used in this year's batch come from the Hatch Valley in New Mexico and are more roasty-toasty and complex. You'll love it. This product contains peanuts and sesame. Like all Hei Ma products, it is shelf stable and there is no need to refrigerate after opening. It is olive oil-based so may firm up when cold.

"I haven’t encountered many American olive oils that knocked me out, but this one from Gold Ridge Organic Farms in Sebastapol is exceptionally good."
Ruth Reichl, James Beard Award Winner, Food Writer & Chef
"Your EVOO is extraordinarily delicious! The oils are smooth, flavorful, and absolutely outstanding. I found your EVOO to be perfect for drizzling on cooked vegetables, and salads; although I use it anywhere I would previously use butter or a spread. The taste is simply incredible. Thank goodness you ship to the east coast; I'm so glad I found you and I will continue to be a customer."
Carol T., Hackettstown, NJ
"5 stars: We were a bit late arriving at Gold Ridge, but Stephanie warmly welcomed us. Such a glorious day to explore the apple and olive orchards...we loved every minute of it! The olive oil tasting, a first for all of us, was a hit! Thank you for sharing Gold Ridge with all of us!"
Karen A., Sebastopol, CA
"We had a wonderful experience at Gold Ridge Organic Farms! We booked a tour and olive oil tasting to celebrate a birthday, and our morning here did not disappoint. The place is simply beautiful. The olive and apple orchards are gorgeous, with views for miles. We came home with new knowledge and some delicious items for our kitchens. Thank you for a fabulous day."
Nina S., SF Bay Area, CA
"I'm only on my first of the trio, Minerva, but I'm already super happy with my order. And, as a longtime connoisseur, you are now one of my favorite olive oils, not kiddin, and will now be in my regular rotation. Thank you for the complimentary pour spout. I never liked their idea as to keep oxygen out. But I love it. Super convenient and makes it easy to pour all over the place."
Homero D., Driftwood, TX
