Doorstep Harvest Newsletter 5-28-2013
As always, try new foods with caution, and in small amounts. Also, please note that some herbs-foods may have some interactions with some pharmaceuticals. If you use meds, Go to http://www.drugs.com/ to check them out.?
This is a short newsletter, no WikiFacts, sorry 🙁
All produce this week is organically grown in my garden in town, as always thus far this year, with exception of some of the braising mix, which has been organically grown in my garden at my grandparents in the country, and the radishes.
Carrots
Radish: greens are tasty in the braising mix, or chopped small and put into a hamburger patty. They are also very nutritious.
Braising mix: Contains Red Russian Kale, Mustard Greens, and Chard (red and green).
Salad mix: Contains encore salad mix, wood sorrel (the lemony), and baby mustard (the spicy).
Spinach
Tea herbs:
lemon balm
Culinary Herbs: Oregano, thyme, and parsley, and wild garlic leaf.
WARNING: herbs are not (and have not been) washed! This causes faster degradation of the flavor. The best time to wash is right before use.
A great way to store your herbs for long term use is to keep them in their paper bag on the counter, and let them air dry on the counter. For short term, just store in fridge.
Flowers: Lilac (purple buds), daffodil, and poppies!
