Mixed Greens
Mix up your food routine with these mixed greens. An appealing blend of crunchy and velvety, this week’s harvest makes for a great salad. But wait, there’s more! Use these hydrating greens in a smoothie, or as a base for hummus or wild grains. Toss in this week’s carrots, sunflower shoots, and oyster mushrooms and add a light miso dressing for a local farming feast.
Carrots
These colorful carrots are the perfect amount of crisp and sweet. With restorative vitamins, these healthy treats are delicious eaten raw or lightly blanched. Shave them into a salad, or slice them into sandwiches, or enjoy them with your favorite dip. We love to add them to blended juices and smoothies, or slice them into wintry stews. For cold weather, add them to a roast and enjoy!
Sunflower Shoots
Regardless of the weather, it’s always sunny on your plate! Sunflower shoots have been called the secret weapon of the greens, these sunnies lend an earthy, almondlike flavor and have a satisfying texture. They complement a salad, add a new dimension to a sandwich or wrap, and dress up a taco. Sprinkle these onto tomato soup, meat, or enjoy them as a snack with a light dressing or balsamic drizzle.
Sage
Bring some wisdom to your palette with luscious, velvet sage. This aromatic herb can be added to meat dishes, pastas, and even baked potatoes. A perfect flavor for the season, add sage to dairy-based dips and enjoy. This herb protects your body against oxidative stress and can lift a mood.
Oyster Mushrooms
This season’s specialty ‘shrooms are delicate, earthy, and extraordinarily healthy. They can be washed and eaten raw, and taste wonderful with garlic, cream-based sauces, soy sauce, and onions. Add them to a sandwich or salad, or enjoy them on their own. Oyster mushrooms can be air-fried, battered, or added to stews.
