Asian Greens Mix
Our Asian greens mix is back! These hydrating and nutritious greens pack in earthy flavor and crunch and work in a variety of dishes. Create a crisp salad, sautée up a stir fry, or dress up an entree for an early autumn treat. Pair with miso-based dressings, or add citrus and ginger. For salads or smoothies, add chia or roasted pumpkin seeds. In a stir fry, blanch and briefly wilt to bring out the flavor. Raw or cooked, these greens taste pair well with this week’s pea shoots and carrots. Enjoy!
Pea Shoots
Superfood and chill? Freshly harvested pea shoots are grown at your neighborhood farm and delivered to you with a bright crunch and sweet flavor. Keep these in a damp paper towel in the fridge, and use them with our Asian greens salad mix and carrots. Blend into smoothies, or top a taco, burger, or meat dish. The possibilities are endless — pea shoots taste good blended into a sour cream-based dip, they add crunch to sandwiches, and they add flavor to breakfast omelets. Check out our Crop Guide for nutrition info and flavor combinations.
Sage
Sage is a medicinal herb, grown locally at our Arlington, VA farm. Used by humans for millennia, this aromatic herb is a tonic for the body and soul. Incorporating sage into family dinners is simple — add into pasta, use to flavor rice and sauces, serve with turkey on cornbread, or use it to adorn a gelato. Need more ideas? Sages are known for their learnedness — so why not read our sage Crop Guide?
Carrots
The beginning of fall calls for hearty meals. Enter our crunchtastic carrots — the classic root vegetables with the crunch and earthy flavor. A versatile vegetable, vitamin-rich carrots help your eyesight and digestion. Shave these into a salad, or roast them to make a dish of their own. Add to a meat dish with au jus, slice into a sandwich, or use the tops and bottoms to blend into a smoothie. Dice them to add to stir fry, meat pies, or rice dishes.
Corn Shoots
Sweet corn shoots are popular on the farm, and taste like corn on the co. These leafy shoots pair well with savory dressings, butter, or olive oil when added to a salad or bed of greens. Flavorful in light lunch sandwiches, breakfast egg dishes, or when added to dinner starters like bruschetta or avocado toast. If you’re a fan of homemade sauces, blend these into spicy salsas or spreads like cucumber dip or ranch.
