Native to China, Thailand and Myanmar, Okinawa Spinach is a dense, low growing green of the Asteraceae family, unrelated to common spinach. It is ornamental with shiny green leaves on top and dusty purple underbelly, and is also incredibly nutritious, offering a plethora of vitamins, proteins, and minerals as well as phytochemicals. It is known to help lower cholesterol. The leaves have a crisp, nutty and herbaceous flavor with a hint of pine. It is said the younger the leaves, the tastier.

How to Prepare Okinawa Spinach:

Okinawa Spinach can be eaten raw or cooked. The leaves and young shoot tips can be steamed, used in stir fry, tempura, stews, and soups. Overcooking can cause it to become slimy. Because the flavor is strong, it is often seen mixed with other greens.

This Week’s Bag Featuring Dill! – October 29th, 2018

dill-2

Dill is a herb in the celery family. Dill is native to southern Russia, western Africa, and the Mediterranean region. As a seasoning, it is commonly associated with Scandinavian and German cooking. However, it is the eponymous ingredient in dill pickles, and  is also often used in salad dressings, and fish dishes.

Preparation

Dill is best when used fresh.  It should be stored in the refrigerator wrapped in a damp paper towel or with its stems placed in a container of water. The fern-like leaves of dill are fragile so the herb doesn’t stay fresh for long even if stored properly. It can be stored frozen, either whole or chopped in an airtight container. Dill leaves can also be frozen in ice cube trays covered with water or stock, these can used when preparing soups or stews.
