This week’s bag features watermelon radishes: edible root crops with thin stems and wavy green leaves—all rich in vitamin C.

Happy Father’s Day! This week’s bag features eggplant, a versatile, low-calorie nightshade filled with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals. A hearty fruit–perfect for grilling, frying or baking–eggplants make a great meat substitute for vegetarian dishes.
Preparation
Most eggplants can be eaten either with or without their skin. However, the larger ones and those that are white in color generally have tough skins that may not be palatable. To remove skin, you can peel it before cutting or if you are baking it, you can scoop out the flesh once it is cooked. If you’re not preparing your eggplants right away, store them in the crisper of your fridge up to five days.

Happy Kamehameha Day! The Sweet Potato is one of the oldest vegetables known to mankind. Sweet potatoes originated in Central and South America, but archaeologists have found proof through prehistoric remnants that the sweet potato was grown in Polynesia before western exploration, according to radiocarbon dating. Current thinking is that it was brought to central Polynesia around 700 AD, possibly by Polynesians who had traveled to South America and back, and spread across Polynesia to Hawaii and New Zealand from there.
The sweet potato is not a potato, and it is not a yam!
Preparation
The simplest way you can prepare a sweet potato is by first heating the oven to 400° F. Pierce each sweet potato several times with the tines of a fork. Place the sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Make a slit in the top of each sweet potato.
