A note from Golden Earthworm:
Greens Galore! This is a traditional late spring box, full of delicious leafy greens.
The Swiss Chard is gorgeous- called Bright Lights because of its multi-color stems.
The Baby Bok Choy is delicious steamed up or used in a stir fry.
And don’t forget that the white Japanese Salad Turnips are a two-for-one veg because you can eat the leaves too! I love their spicy flavor when gently steamed and then sauteed with a little garlic, olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
And for all you Escarole lovers (or soon to be)…a big beautiful head of escarole to round things out. Escarole can be eaten raw in a salad, or cooked. It is a bitter green, so cooking will help take off the bitter edge if you don’t like the flavor. If eating raw, the inner (more yellow) leaves are less bitter and can even be a bit sweet!
Finally, the funny looking long green things in your box are a springtime specialty called garlic scapes!
