Good Morning CSA Members!
I hope that you are all doing well and enjoying this beautiful week. The cooler nights are bringing us closer and closer to those yummy fall veggies including winter squash, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, broccoli and even Brussels sprouts.
Here is an update on your shares this week.
Remember that you may use your radish tops for everything from pesto to soups. Remove the tops and store separate from radishes. Tops will last from 2-3 days while the actual radishes can up to 2 weeks!
Full shares contain a new beet variety that we are growing called Striped or Rainbow beets. They are slightly sweeter than red beets and can be prepared the same way. The tops are great for sautees, salads, or soups.
Blackberries are in your shares this week. Do not wash them until you are ready to eat them. This will increase spoilage. Use within 2-3 days.
Cayenne peppers are on the hotter end of the spectrum. Please check out my post on
hot peppers to see exactaly how hot they are.
Full shares enjoyed Dinosaur Kale last week. Half shares now are getting a turn as well. Dinosaur kale (also called laccinto or Tuscan kale). It is crispy and long-lasting with a similar flavor as curly kale.
The apples in your shares this week are McIntosh. They are a slightly tart apple with a crispy skin and a tender flesh. They are excellent for cooking or for snacking.
Cheers!
