Second Week of Spring Season 2024
Kale
This week’s kale is bright, grassy and not at all bitter. Adding any kale to your diet has many benefits, but, like all veggies, the source matters. Kale consistently lands on the Dirty Dozen list, as it contains traces of harmful pesticides. By eating locally grown, organic produce, you can be sure that your kale is only adding to your health, not compromising it.
Broccoli Microgreens
We pick our broccoli microgreens when they are less than two weeks old, and when they are 40 times more nutritious than full-sized broccoli. They add depth and crunch to any meal that can use an earthy and nutritious component. Their ease-of-use and nutrient-density make incorporating them into your daily life a no-brainer. To store microgreens, line a sealable bag or container with paper towels, add microgreens and keep them in the crisper drawer.
Mint Julep
This week’s mint julep is our smooth and cooling spring variety. Mint is a bright, refreshing herb that we love for its versatility and many health benefits. Your mint julep will make a terrific tea for healthy digestion, a refreshing cocktail to wake up your senses, or a creative addition to both savory and sweet dishes. When you add mint to your diet this week, know that it is great for immunity and your brain.
Hakurei Turnips
This week’s turnips are round and bright white (like the Easter bunny). We harvest them when they are no bigger than a golf ball to ensure their slightly sweet flavor and crisp texture. Without the pungency of other turnip varieties, use your Hakurei turnips shredded in a coleslaw or raw with a dip. Here are some more ways to prepare this week’s turnips, and some info about the benefits of adding them into your diet.
Celosia Flower Pot
Our special spring gift to you, this potted celosia plant will add color and spring-time vibes to your home. Just be sure to water when the soil is dry, and if you want to plant it outside, wait until after the last spring frost.
