Green Frilly Kale- Hayshaker Farm, Walla Walla, WA - Kale is a tasty and nutritious green with a earthy and bittersweet flavor. It has high levels of fiber, antioxidants, calcium, vitamins C and K, and iron. Massaging or cooking these greens breaks down their texture, making them sweeter and easier to digest. Kale is choice for a hearty salad, kale chips, smoothies or soup.
Poblano Peppers - Royal Produce, Royal City, WA - Rich peppers with mild spice. This mild chili pepper is often roasted over an open flame and peeled. Once roasted it can be used to craft a deep flavored enchilada sauce, queso, or salsa.
Red Onions - Swiss Farms, Omak, WA - Red onions add a beautiful deep color and satisfying crunch to salads and sandwiches. When cooked, roasted, or grilled they become sweet and caramelly. Don't shy away from using these colorful bulbs in place of white or yellow onions.
Sweet Potatoes - Swiss Farms, Omak, WA - The classic orange sweet potato with mild, sweet flesh. These delicious roots are high in vitamin A. Cook up your classic sweet potato casserole, make sweet potato fries, or enjoy a sweet potato hash.
Spinach- Welcome Table Farm, Walla Walla, WA - Spinach is a nutrient rich green that has a sweet flavor with a hint of bitterness. Pair this crisp green with nuts and fruits for a flavorful and fresh salad. Eat spinach cooked to be able to absorb more of its iron and calcium - we love it on pizza, in soups, in curries, or in smoothies.
Broccoli Shoots - Big Sage Organics, Othello, WA - Broccoli is crunchy with a mild bitterness when raw and sweeter when cooked. Broccoli cheddar soup, broccoli curry, and pasta with roasted broccoli are some of our favorite ways to use these versatile little trees! Pair with strong flavors like garlic, lemon, chili, or sesame.
OR White Cauliflower - Big Sage Organics, Othello, WA - Cauliflower has a mild and slightly nutty flavor. Cauliflower is a great dipper for veggie trays, a mellow addition to curries, and a fit for a feast when roasted whole.
