First Week of Summer Season 2024
Pea Shoots and Greens
This red crystal lettuce and pea shoots mix is crispy and hydrating.
Flavor: Sweet, a little grassy, and super crunchy.
Health benefit: Full of antioxidants that can tame any excess of free radicals that can cause cell damage.
Tip: You can eat this blend raw, but with a light sauté (no more than two minutes) will keep its crunch.
Cabbage Microgreens
These young cabbage plants can be widely used in the kitchen.
Flavor: Resembles mature cabbage, but milder and slightly sweet.
Health benefit: Fiber to help you stay regular and support your gut.
Tip: Chop these micros and put them on anything (salads, burgers, and more) to add color and nutrition.
Onions
These mild, green onions don't have a large bulb, and have leaves that retain great flavor.
Flavor: Both sweet and savory, while tender with a little crunch.
Health benefit: Contain a flavanoid called quercetin, which can support your brain health.
Tip: In celebration of the summer season, try grilling your onions to get a good char, then drizzle with olive oil and add some salt.
Pesto Herbs
Rosemary
This aromatic rosemary has tiny, but flavorful leaves with many culinary and medicinal uses.
Flavor: Earthy, peppery, and a little minty.
Health benefit: The antioxidants in rosemary can help protect skin cells from damage often caused by the sun.
Tip: Use as a seasoning by placing whole sprigs, or chopped eaves on lamb, chicken, and fish, as well as vegetables like potatoes, mushrooms, and onions.
