Fifth Week of Spring Season 2024
Spring Mix - romaine lettuce mix
This week’s Spring Mix is crunchy and versatile. It features classic romaine, which can actually withstand heat without losing its nutrients, so feel free to cook this mix if you aren’t in the mood for a raw salad. However you like it, our Spring Mix is rich in nutrients and has a high water content, so it’s great for hydration.
Cabbage Microgreens
This week’s cabbage microgreens are baby purple cabbage plants - both flavorful and nutritious. Like all microgreens, they will resemble the flavor of the mature plant, but be milder with a tender texture. Use these micros to add crunch to breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and get essential vitamins like C, A, and K, as well as the fiber to support your digestion.
Microgreen Medley
Mix of Pea Shoots, Sunnies and Radish Microgreens
This microgreens and shoots mix is a perfect balance of flavors. Radish microgreens are spicy - the pea shoots and sunnies offer an earthy flavor that perfectly tames that spice. You can easily incorporate this mix into your meals this week and get the high amounts of vitamins and minerals that these delicious, crispy greens offer.
Parsley
Parsley is a medicinal herb grown at our Arlington, VA farm and a culinary classic. We believe this fresh, bright green is essential in the kitchen. Parsley is high in antioxidants and vitamin C, so know that when you add it raw to salads and dressings, or use it to heighten flavors in sauces or marinades, you’re contributing to your overall well-being.
Oyster Mushrooms
These somewhat meaty, yet delicate oyster mushrooms are sure to satisfy this week. They are slightly sweet and nutty and so easy to use - sauté or roast them with this week’s parsley, herb salt, and some butter or oil. Add them to a simple pasta to add a deep, earthy flavor for a comforting dish.
Herb Salt
This week’s Herb Salt combines marjoram and rosemary - it’s versatile and delicious in both taste and texture. Use this like any salt – so - on everything. We think it’s particularly special when added to warmed nuts, popcorn, or buttered toast.
