VEG SHARES

(Photo of the "Default" FULL Share below. See listings to see which share size has what, how much, along with info, guides, recipes.)



FULL VEG SHARE:


SPINACH & TURNIP GREENS  (¼ lb) - This green is very versatile (and YES! You can eat the stems, in fact they are very tasty too. ;) It can be eaten cooked or raw, requires little prep, works with sweet or savory ingredients, stands up to other hearty ingredients, and pairs well with rich, fatty foods such as cheese, butter, bacon, and cream. Raw is popular in salads with, or without, pecans, dried fruit such as cranberries, chunks of cheese, sunflower seeds, and roasted beets. Other possibilities are steaming, boiling, stir-frying, or sautéeing with butter or olive oil. Known as a longer keeper than lettuce, store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for a week or more. Note - Cooks down in size considerably. Guide & Recipes


MILD CHEDDAR CHEESE (8 oz) - Semi-hard Cheddar that carries a tanginess along with smooth, consistent flavor. Great table cheese used for grating or grilling. Pairs well with: Champagne or Chardonnay *NOT organic. (from Meister Cheese)


CARROTS (2 lb) - Store the roots dry and unwashed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. Guide & Recipes (from Red Door Family Farm - organic)


YELLOW ONION (1 lb) Store on your counter or in your pantry out of direct sunlight. Onion peels can be put into a freezer bag with other vegetable scraps to make soup stock later, as they are full of antioxidants. To freeze: Cut or slice onions to desired size and place in Ziplock bag. Remove all the air and seal. It helps to freeze them in 2-3 cup increments. These are a good all-around onion, great for cooking and flavoring dishes. By far, they're the most popular onion sold in America and versatile enough for just about anything. Yellow onions are a smart choice for caramelizing, which draws out their natural sweetness.(from Gwenyn Hill Farm - organic)


ALL PURPOSE BOLTED FLOUR (2 lb) - Best applications include but are not limited to cakes, crackers, pizza dough, and breads. PROTEIN CONTENT= 10.5%. (from Meadowlark Organics)


PICKLED BEETS (1 pint) - Eat them straight, in salad, add to wraps, combine with hard boiled eggs, add to grilled cheese sandwiches, as a side for Indian curries, roast and add balsamic glaze, use on a charcuterie board. Ingredients = beets, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, cinnamon, all spice, whole cloves.
