Spinach - 1 bag - Elithorp Farm, Deer Park, 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.
Curly Kale - 1 bunch - Hayshaker Farm, Walla Walla, WA - Kale is a tasty and nutritious green with a earthy and bittersweet flavor. It has high levels of fiber, antioxidants, calcium, vitamins C and K, and iron. Massaging or cooking these greens breaks down their texture, making them sweeter and easier to digest. Kale is choice for a hearty salad, kale chips, smoothies or soup.
Red Potatoes - ~1 1/2 lbs - Channing Farm, Twisp, WA - The red potato is ideal for stews, potato salads, and roasts! It's firm and waxy texture helps it to hold it's shape so it doesn't fall apart when cooked.
Pea Shoots - 1 package - Well Grown Farms, Spangle, WA - Pea shoots are the baby version of garden pea plants. Their tender leaves and shoots have a taste similar to the sweetness and freshness of peas! Add them to a fresh lemon pasta dish or in this recipe for Stir Fried Pea Shoots with Garlic.
