Winter Veggies and Greens CSA
This is an ongoing subscription to our monthly farm fresh produce. Everything is grown organically and with a zero carbon footprint. In the winter, when the fruits have been preserved and fermented, the root vegetables and winter squashes, come together nicely with a host of winter greens (rainbow chard, purple bokchoy, pink mizuna) among many other brassicas and alliums!
Japanese Pink Mizuna - bunch
A perfectly pleasing combination of dense nutrition, rich flavor and eye appeal. The stems of this variety are a lavender-pink hue, which indicates high levels of the antioxidant, anthocyanin.
Mizuna is an exceptionally healthy green, very high in vitamins C as well as folate and the powerful antioxidant, glucosinolate. This feathery light green is suitable for raw eating in complex and flavorful salads or try steaming or stir frying.
An upscale Japanese leafy green, essential for high-end, gourmet culinary experimentation, or anyone looking to introduce a scrumptious new super food into their repertoire.
Purple Lady Bok Choy - bunch
Purple Lady Bok Choy or red "Pak Choi" features deep purple leaves on elegant jade-green stems. The colors are bold but the taste is delicate, delicious stir-fried with soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds. Highly nutritious, this bok choy is a powerful source of vitamins A, C, K and folate, and good source of minerals including calcium, phosphorous, and potassium
Its sweet, rich flavor is perfect for the wok, grill or in salads. Crunchy, juicy and flavorful, this is an excellent culinary variety.
Fordhook Swiss Chard - bunch
If you're a "chard head" like us, you're in select company, as Swiss Chard is not commonly available these days. No matter - enjoy Fordhook Swiss Chard steamed or boiled with a touch of butter.
Waltham Butternut Squash - each
The undisputed king of all butternut squash, the Waltham Butternut is an heirloom and a 1970 All-America Selections winner; a familiar staple of classic American cooking. Sweet and delicious, the Waltham Butternut Squash is also packed with tons of beneficial vitamins and nutrients. Excellent for winter soups and baking!
Collard Greens - bunch
Dark blue/green leaves are highly nutritions with a mild, cabbage-like flavor. One of the favorites here at Seeding Reciprocity for summer wraps and winter stews. Some find that cooked collards can have a bitter flavor but it is enhanced when served with vinegar. Flavored vinegar, for example, the "juice" from a jar of pickled vegetables, are quite tasty for summer wraps. For winter stews you might also like to try combing with sun-dried tomatoes, onions, garlic, or crushed red pepper for seasoning. Have fun and experiment!
