This Week’s Bag Featuring Tangerines- Week of January 16th

January 18, 2021 by Anna

Tangerines are smaller and less rounded than the common orange. Their taste is considered less sour, as well as sweeter and stronger, than that of an orange. Tangerines are a variety of orange in the mandarin orange species.

The tender, juicy, richly flavored pulp of tangerines is abundant in Vitamin C. People love tangerines for their uniquely sweet taste.

This Week’s Bag Featuring Carrots- Week of January 11

January 11, 2021 by Anna

Oh how we love carrots!  They are a funny little root crop so that you never know what you’re going to get until you pull them out of the ground!  Usually orange in color, but sometimes they can be cosmic and come out purple, yellow, red or even white.  Packed with health-promoting beta carotene, they promote good vision, especially night vision, and help combat health-damaging free radical activity.

Preparation

Since carrots are root crops, make sure you scrub them well to get an residual dirt off of them.  Peeling off the skin is optional, I usually don’t because I’m lazy like that.  Grab a knife and chop away!  Or you can be more fancy pants like this guy!

This Week’s Bag Featuring String Beans – Week of January 4

January 4, 2021 by Anna

String beans, also known as green beans, make it onto the list of “world’s healthiest foods.” A member of the bean and legume category, these guys provide concentrated amounts of fiber, folate and minerals making them known to lower the risk of chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary heart disease, among others.  They are also a great source of vitamin K, vitamin C, manganese, vitamin B2 and B1, and copper.

Preparation

Most common cooking method is to boil. Always wash produce before cooking and eating. Bring water to a boil and add whole beans, cooking until bright green in color, about 5-7 minutes. The beans should be crisp and tender (al dente). Blanch in ice bath for one minute after cooking. Before eating, trim the stem off, and tail end off as well if preferred.

This Week’s Bag Featuring Star Fruit- Week of December 28

December 28, 2020 by Anna

The fruit has distinctive ridges running down its sides (usually five but can sometimes vary); in cross-section, it resembles a star, hence its name. The entire fruit is edible and is usually eaten out of hand. They may also be used in cooking and can be made into relishes, preserves, and juice drinks.

Preparation

Simply wash the fruit, cut crosswise to get the star shape, and eat.  Starfruit can be eaten out-of-hand because the fruit is entirely edible. The fruit is also commonly used in salads, cakes, jams, jellies, cocktails or to garnish food dishes.  Starfruit is ripe when they are firm and have a yellow skin.

Eggplant is a species of nightshade grown for its edible fruit.

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.
