So fresh and so green!
Isn't it great finally having Willie Green's in your fridge again?! We of the farm family are delighted. I've been eating an average of 2 salads a day and putting that exquisite Arugula on everything! Large share received Arugula last week and everyone will receive it this week. This is really truly the BEST Arugula ever! It's sweet and just a tiny bit peppery. Yes, you really can eat it for 3 meals in a day! For breakfast, give it a rough chop and scramble it with you eggs. For lunch, put some on your favorite sandwich in place of or with lettuce. For dinner, wilt some with your favorite pasta.
Turnips are making their debut this week. Turnips have long been associated with beauty, and have loads of healthy properties. These little baby turnips are sweet and versatile. Try this sweet, simple turnip recipe. If you have someone who professes dislike of turnips, try this sneaky recipe.
Red Kale also makes its debut this week. Not only beautiful to look at, Kale is loaded with Vitamins A, C, K, and Manganese. Tender Red Kale may be eaten raw in salads, or wilted slightly as a side dish. Those beautiful jagged leaves require very little cooking time. Try adding some to soup just before serving.
Our baby bok choy is exceptionally cute and crisp. Although most folks equate bok choy with stir fries, it is also great braised. Try Jeff's Champagne Braised Bok Choy for something different.
Here's what you will receive in your boxes this week...
SMALL 1/4# Arugula, 4 Baby Heads of Lettuce, 1 Bok Choy, 1 bn. Radishes, 1/4# Red Kale, 1/2# Salad mix, 1 bn. Turnips.
