Veggie CSA Boxes This Week

Here are the things you'll find in your box this week. Check out earlier posts for good ideas on how to prepare:

- Escarole - Holds a special place in our heart, as it was our first crop to succeed in our first year of farming. Extremely healthy and often overlooked, it's delicious with a touch of sweet (e.g., honey, raisins) like this recipe: http://tinyurl.com/yg33eyk

- Chinese/Napa Cabbage - With its rich concentration of vitamin C, A, folate, manganese and fiber, it's a nice change of pace from the regular cabbage. Try this: http://tinyurl.com/2cb7rh8

- Green Garlic

- Scapes

- Hakuri Turnips

- Spinach

- Bibb Lettuce

- Chard - Like kale or spinach, its a wonderful cooking green to be used in just about anything. It's one of Owen's favorite quiche additions: http://www.dea-dia.com/Recipes/chardomelet.pdf

- Arugula (bunched) - Better for cooking (due to its size), add olive oil, garlic and wilt like you would spinach. We love as a bed for fish, but also delicious as a side dish or in pasta. You can eat in a salad as well.

Happy eating!
