This Week’s Bag Featuring Kale! 11/10 -11/11
Time to start thinking of what vegetables you’re most thankful for! One variety or another of kale is sure to be on top of everyone’s list. These include curly kale, ornamental kale, and dinosaur (or Lacinato or Tuscan) kale, all of which differ in taste, texture, and appearance. In addition to kale, this week’s bag features five other items from four of our favorite local farms!!
Mixed Lettuce – Mari’s Garden
Arugula – Kahumana Organic Farms & Cafe
Kales and other greens can often be used interchangeably in recipes, so try new types of greens as you make salads, soups, omelets, pasta and other dishes!
Kale with Onion, Celery, & Tomato
This Week’s Bag Featuring Daikon! 11/4 -11/5
Daikon is a long, white radish and is extremely versatile in how it can be prepared. Grate it raw into salads, cut into strips or chips for relish trays, pickle it and serve as a side dish, stir-fry, grill, bake, boil or broil! Use daikon as you would a radish, it just has an extra little zing to it! They can also be preserved by salting and making into sauerkraut. Our favorite thing about daikon is the fact that the greens are super nutritious, so if you purchase them and they’re still in tact, they’re worth using as well! Here’s what else you have to look forward to:
Mixed Lettuce – Mari’s Garden
Daikon- Leileihua High School
Jalapeno Peppers- Pacific Gateway Center
Golden Tomatoes- Ho Farms
Baby Greens – Kahumana Organic Farms & Cafe
