At Misfits Market, we’re on a mission to make organic grocery delivery more exciting, more accessible, and more sustainable. One of the ways we do that? With our mystery produce—a creative (and fun!) solution that helps farmers use more of their total harvest, while giving you delicious surprises with every box.
These variety-flexible offerings are a win-win: farmers get flexibility, food gets saved from waste, and customers get flavorful, seasonal produce delivered to their door from one of the best organic grocery stores in the market.
What Are Mystery Spring Alliums?
Our Mystery Spring Alliums are a rotating selection of seasonal staples—aromatic, flavor-building essentials that bring depth to just about everything you cook. Grown underground and harvested in the cooler months, alliums are the foundation of countless dishes, from soups and sautés to sauces and roasts.
Depending on what our partner farms are harvesting and what needs a home, you could receive red onion, white onion, garlic, or shallot.
Because this program helps us support farmers and reduce waste, you’ll receive one variety per order, chosen based on what’s at peak freshness and ready to ship. It’s part surprise, part kitchen staple, and always something you’ll use.
Spring Alliums You Might Receive
Red Onion
Bold, slightly sweet, and vibrant in color, red onions add a sharp bite and a pop of brightness to dishes. Slice thin for salads, pickle for tang, or roast to mellow their flavor and bring out their natural sweetness.
White Onion
Crisp and clean with a sharper edge, white onions are a go-to for everyday cooking. Use them raw for a punchy crunch, or cook them down as a base for soups, sauces, and sautés.
Garlic
Pungent, savory, and essential, garlic builds flavor from the ground up. Mince into dressings, roast whole for a mellow, spreadable flavor bomb, or sauté to kickstart just about any dish.
Shallot
Delicate and slightly sweet with a hint of garlic, shallots offer a more refined allium flavor. Perfect for vinaigrettes, sauces, and light sautés where you want depth without overpowering the dish.
