Flavor of Day: TBDAugust: Sturgeon moon
North American fishing tribes called August's full moon the sturgeon moon, since the species was traditionally abundant during this month. It's also been called the green corn moon, the grain moon, and the red moon for the reddish hue it often takes on in the summer haze.
