Week 4
Here are some of the items you may be
receiving in your delivery this week:
Red Choi, Japanese Miniture Hakurai
Turnips with edible tops, Beet Greens, Red Rain (serrated leaf salad green), Red
Giant Mustard Green, Gunsho and Rhubarb.
Hello Everyone!
This week has a wonderful Asian flair
to it. In addition to the beautiful beet greens and sweet rhubarb we have a
delightful assortment of Asian greens for sautéing, plus a salad green.
First the salad green is called Red
Rain it is the one with a serrated leaf.
Yummy.
The boys and I enjoyed the miniature turnips
raw the other night it was delicious. You can also saute or steam the turnip
bulbs, they do not need long as they are so delicate.
All the other greens are easily cooked
as a stirfry, you can try them individually or create a mixture. The Red Giant
is a mustard green which when cooked looses its heat and the Gunsho almost
reminds me of fresh asparagus with its thick stems, personally the florets are
my favorite.
The incredible amount of nutrients in
these greens are amazing for your health. Whichever way you wish to eat them,
maybe salt and pepper like my youngest, soy sauce like my oldest son or
balsamic vinegar like me. Experiment and have fun.
If you have any questions please feel
free to contact me. Enjoy!
Your Farmer,
Amber
