Weekly and odd-week
produce shareholders got an exciting mix of nuts, herb plants and
vegetables today, including: · Basil plant (Thai, Christmas, Cinnamon, Big Leaf) · Boiled peanuts · Zucchini · Yellow squash · Spring onions · Tomatoes, red slicing · Eggplant, Baby neon (Italian) and/or Black Beauty (Globe)
· Watermelon · Muscadines · Scuppernongs · Green snap beans · Green cabbage · Jalapeno peppers · Anaheim peppers · Rome apples This week's links are for green cabbage. Cabbage may seem pretty ordinary but like many things in life there’re hidden depths to those crunchy green leaves.
Cabbage is a cruciferous veggie and like its cousins
(broccoli, cauliflower, mustard, radish, etc.) it’s packed with
serious nutrition. It keeps for a long time but it’s sweetest when
it’s fresh and young. This time of year our favorite way to fix it is
coleslaw but there’s so much more that can be done! Cooking in water
for 30 minutes or so with a little oil or seasoning meat yields tender
flesh and cuts down on the sulfur compounds that rile up some people’s
guts.

apples Our focus this week is on green onions. These can either be very young sprouts of regular bulb style onions (like the Vidalia green onions we sent you this Spring) or bunch-type onions that never make bulbs. To confuse things even more, as a group they're known a scallions, and there's also a type that's called scallion. Other types are spring onions (the young bulb onions), green onions (the bunchers) and young leeks. Young leeks have the mildest flavor, scallions and bunchers the mid-range, and spring onions the sharpest. Usually any of them can be swapped for any other so long as you adjust the quantity, but always check the recipe to be sure. And of course, your and your family's tastes are the best guide!
