Spinach - 1 count - Welcome Table or Hayshaker 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.
Cauliflower - 1 count - Hedlin’s Family Farm, Mt. Vernon, 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.
Asparagus - ~ 1lb - Royal Produce, Royal city, WA - Enjoy fresh spring asparagus during its short window of availability! Asparagus is one of those hyper-seasonal items but we'll have these tender, green shoots around for through the end of May - soak in this beautiful sign of spring while you can!
Microgreens - 1 count - Full Bushel Farm, Medical Lake, WA - Microgreens are small but often contain more nutrients than their mature counterparts. Use them to top sandwiches, wraps, soups, or grain bowls with flavorful and nutritious greens!
Rapini - 1 count - Hayshaker Farm, Walla Walla, WA - Rapini is a leafy cruciferous vegetable technically closer to turnips than broccoli and is also known as broccoli raab. Characterized by its jagged leaves, slender edible stems, and small broccoli-like flower buds, rapini is popular in Mediterranean cuisine known for its earthy, bitter, and slightly peppery taste.
Red Cabbage - 1 count - Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mt. Vernon, WA - Red cabbage is more bold, floral, and peppery than it's green counterpart. Its waxy texture gives it a satisfying crunch in slaws or stirfrys. Try quick pickling it for a tangy condiment to put on everything!
