Seventh Week of Spring Season 2024
Citrus Crunch (lettuce with red sorrel)
This week’s citrus crunch includes red sorrel, which is a tangy, leafy green that contains vitamins C and A, and some B vitamins as well. You’ll enjoy the crunch and unique flavors in this lettuce blend. It’s perfect for upleveling your salad game, and our farming experts recommend it as a flavorful bed for quinoa, farro, or pilafs.
Tatsoi microgreens
These tatsoi microgreens are great to add to salads, smoothies, and more this week. Tatsoi microgreens have a mild, mustard-like flavor with a hint of sweetness. They add an earthy depth of flavor when added raw or slightly cooked to meals. To store microgreens, line a sealable bag or container with paper towels, add microgreens, and keep them in the crisper drawer.
Taco Topper
A mix of beet, radish, fennel, and cilantro microgreens
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, this mix is a perfect combination to use as a taco topping. Cilantro microgreens have a fresh, bold flavor, similar to mature cilantro, while the earthiness of beet microgreens and the peppery kick of radish shoots balance each other out. We’ve added bronze fennel to the mix to give a slightly sweet licorice flavor. You’ll also benefit from the many vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber found in microgreens and fennel.
Serrano Peppers
Serrano peppers are bright green and spicy, although not overwhelmingly so. They are fresh and crispy, perfect to add some heat to salsas, guacamole, and sauces. You can also finely chop them and sprinkle them over your Cinco de Mayo tacos. Serrano peppers are a good source of vitamin C to help your immune system, and have capsaicin to boost your metabolism.
Recovery Tea
(chamomile, tulsi, lemon balm)
Slow down this week with a bedtime ritual that promises to relieve stress and promote deep, quality sleep. Incorporating this tea blend into your nighttime routine will calm your body and your mind. Tulsi is adaptogenic which helps your body better deal with stress; chamomile is a nervine which will quiet your nerves; and lemon balm reduces anxiety and restlessness. Here is the perfect recipe to add to your bedtime routine.
