Arugula Crunch
Boost your food and your mood with peppery, textured greens. Arugula-based greens deliver a satisfying crunch and mouth-watering flavor that makes creating salads easy. Try dressings like green goddess to bring out the arugula flavor, or add softness to the crunch with creme fraiche. This crunchy blend can dress up a taco or wrap, or a deconstructed charcuterie plate.
Onions
Earthy and sweet with a long shelf life, these root vegetables will never make you cry! Lightly shave these onto meat dishes, fold into stir fries, or add to sandwiches, tartins, and warm soups. Onions have fortifying vitamins and minerals, and bring out savory and sweet flavors, making them taste perfect with pasta sauces. Soften them up by carmelizing in a skillet, and bring out more flavor by adding butter.
Kohlrabi Microgreens
Eating the rainbow never tasted so good! These specialty, bright colored micros have creative potential for the home gourmand. Pretty in purple and green, they have vitamins and phytochemicals that help fend off winter colds and sniffles. Add to the crunch of this week’s arugula mix by adding these micros and a vinaigrette, or inject some zest into your sandwiches and wraps. Microgreens can garnish meat dishes, vegetable grills, and breakfast scrambles.
Oregano & Thyme
These ancient herbs work well together and bring depth, taste, and healing properties to your plate. Thyme has an understated earthiness and mild flavor, while oregano is warmer and more pungent. Try them in chili, pastas, and to flavor dairy-based dips. Melt butter and fold in thyme and oregano for a long-lasting kitchen staple. Sprinkle atop pizza or on homemade warm bread to make these classic dishes stand out.
Lavender
Whether you need to brighten up a Dry January drink, or calm down with some warm tea, lavender has your back! This farm fresh herb has medicinal properties and invokes a certain air. Muddle into a specialty drink with simple syrup and spritzer, or boil into your favorite tea. Add to a smoothie, oatmeal, or fruit dish to start your morning properly, or mix into warm, mild cheeses at dinner. For a decadent treat, lavender can top ice cream and dark chocolate.
