Happy May to Everyone! We haven’t quite been getting the rainfall we expected for this time of the year so PLEASE everyone: PRAY FOR RAIN! That being said, we do have a lovely new crop of Green Beans, a colorful mixture of green, yellow and dark purple beans are included in this week’s share. Eat them raw in your favorite salad to add a little crisp, steam them (ever so slightly so that they maintain a little crunchiness) and toss them with some light vinaigrette, throw in some slivered carrots and sprinkle with some sesame seeds for a perfect side dish.
As temperatures rise and the Florida heat intensifies it is hard to keep our tender lettuce varieties around, so enjoy your last few weeks of this tender and mild Pannise Lettuce, don’t worry they will be back next spring.
This week we have included some beautiful little pearly Tokyo Turnips in your share. Tokyo Turnips are a very mild and juicy variety of turnips. I like to give them a good wash, cut the small stems off, and boil them in a small saucepan for about ten minutes with some butter, salt and garlic or add some sugar {after you drain the water} for a caramelized effect. You can also toss them into a larger pan and sautee them with a leafy green like collards, mustards or even the Rainbow Chard from you share.
‘Tis also the end of our Strawberries-So Sad. If you haven’t Purchased an entire flat (8 clamshells) of these Delicious, Organic, Sun-Ripened Strawberries you are crazy. Ok, maybe not crazy, but If you are concerned that you won’t be able to eat them all, and they will go bad.. STOP WORRYING!!! Strawberries make amazingly great gifts for friends and neighbors and the best part about them is you can FREEZE THEM and use them in your smoothies, juice pops and my personal favorite…Strawberry Daiquiris.
IT’S NOT TO LATE.
