August 22 & 24 CSA Update

Good Morning Everyone!

Here is a quick update about your shares this week.

As I mentioned in my last post, the yellow beans are also called wax beans. They have the same taste as green beans with a little crunchier texture.

There are a mixture if colored bell peppers in your boxes. Some boxes have yellow peppers and some have orange. They both have a similar sweet texture. The full shares have one of each.

The hot Hungarian is a mildly hot pepper.

Half shares have yellow peaches.

Full shares have white peaches.

Full shares have one heirloom tomato each. It is either a Cherokee Purple or an Amana Orange. They Cherokee purple is a sweet, meaty, yet juicy variety whereas the Amana Orange is less acidic with a somewhat tropical flavor.  Both are great in salsas, salads, or a sandwich topper.

Your eggplant this week is an Italian Eggplant. The taste is the same as a classic eggplant but there are fewer seeds and it is smaller and skinnier in size.
