Our recipe database contains cooking ideas for all the vegetables we grow - link here. Farm CSA Members: In your share of organic items this week:
Napa Cabbage - A head of this delicious specialty fall cabbage. Also called "Chinese Cabbage", this is delicious in raw salads, stir fried, in soup, you name it!
Beets - A bag of fall beets! Beets are delicious roasted, boiled, pickled, etc. Roasting is our favorite method of eating them, but if you visit our recipe database you'll find many uses!
Hakurei - Hakurei are a Japanese root vegetable. We refer to them as "mild Japanese radishes", but they are actually classified as "salad turnips". Typically eaten raw, they are delicious with dips, on salads, etc.
Radishes- A mixed bag of several varieties of fall radishes. The green tops are beautiful this time of year, and are also edible!
Pac Choi / Bok Choy - a bag of big leaves, great stir fried. Often used in Lo Mein, Stir Fry, Asian Soups, etc. Also included in this bag with your Pac Choi is Komatsuna & Tokyo Bekana. Use all of these leaves the same way, they are great in a simple stir fry!
Asian Greens- a bag of mixed Asian greens, great for eating raw or lightly stir frying. You could combine these greens with your pac choi / bok choy into one big stir fry! This mix includes Mizuina, Tat Soi, and Scarlet Frills. A slightly spicy bite in these greens!
Kale- fall kale! Try a kale salad, soup, or kale chips! Lots of ideas on our recipe page.
Arugula- fall arugula! This Italian salad green is delicious mixed into salads, or chopped & sprinkled raw onto cooked pizza & pasta
