Harvest Notes - Week 5

Cabbage The European style cabbages in your share store well and are incredibly crisp for coleslaws.

Napa Cabbage This Asian style of cabbage is more tender than the European cabbages. Try marinating in sesame oil, soy sauce, chili flakes, and rice vinegar for an Asian raw salad or stir-frying lightly. This cabbage cooks quickly so don’t give it too much time on the heat to prevent mushiness.

Basil The best way to store basil is on your countertop with the stems in a glass of water.

Cucumbers Such a sweet and cooling treat in this heat.

Zucchini We are growing yellow zucchini, dark green zucchini and a striped light green zucchini. They all taste pretty similar as far as I can tell!

Kale These super foods are perfect for kale chips but can also be massaged into raw salads, added to soups and sautés, or steamed as their own side dish.

Garlic Scapes Before putting its full energy into making a bulb, a garlic plant sends up a delicious stalk called the garlic scape that can be harvested a full month before the garlic bulbs. Use them in place of garlic in any recipe when chopped small or sauté them like a garlicky green bean. These store well and we'll be distributing them for several weeks.

Rainbow Carrots These yellow and orange carrots are the only colors of our rainbow mix that did well but they are quite pretty even without many purples!
