In Your Bin March 24th: The Lowly Cabbage!
How do you see cabbage?! Just a winter storage vegetable pushed to the back of the fridge perhaps! We are adding our voice to the growing chorus of cabbage enthusiasts that are bringing to light what a wonderful and versatile vegetable it is. Aside of being harvested months ago and still packed with Vit. K & C not to mention antioxidants, it maintains its crispness even now and also when cooked. It is associated with the lettuce family but it actually is a member of the Cruciferous family – think kale, brussel sprouts, broccoli. Long associated with saving a famine ravaged Ireland this vegetable actually has homes all around the world. We hope you explore just how versatile this vegetable is by taking a look at these good recipes from Rainbow Plant Life: Once You Cook Cabbage Like This, You’ll Never Go Back
A word on carrots – in your bin this week are what is known as #2 grade carrots. Chunky, not too pretty but tasty. Due to drought conditions last summer everyone is running out of storage carrots and these are the good old standbys when growers have a tough season. Like the old adage: you can’t judge a carrot by its skin!
