Week 3 of Our Organic Food Boxes – More Great Produce
So Healthy, It Hurts
This week we ordered: Ginger-Gold apples, Broccoli, Braising Mix, Carrots Scallions, Duck eggs, Kale and Bush Delicata winter squash. Here are some quick descriptions of this week’s bounty:
- Ginger-Gold Apples – Very floral, sweet and sour at the same time. Great with a strong cheese!
- Braising Mix – A mixture of kale, chard and collard greens, this is one of the healthiest things you can eat. In the grocery store, a good mix can cost $10.00 per pound!
- Carrots – The organic carrots we’ve been ordering have been SO good. One of my favorite snacks.
- Scallions – You’ll note that the scallions from the farm come with huge tops. I cut off about 1/2 the greens and freeze them to use in my soup stocks.
- Duck eggs – Larger than hen eggs, they taste precisely the same; however, they tend to be “tighter” than regular eggs. If you’re cooking these eggs over-easy, you need to spread out the whites or your eggs will be very runny.
- Bush Delicata Winter Squash – A big surprise this year. I’ve eaten a huge variety of winter squash over the years. Delicatas are rich in flavor and texture. They only need a touch of salt and butter and, YUM, they’re good. (Cut in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, brush with butter season with salt and bake at 350° for an hour……)
