In the box this week:
-Carrots
-Bac Choy
-Swiss Chard
-Lettuce
-Garlic Scapes
-Garden Peas
Two additions of note this week are the carrots and the peas. I have taken the liberty of removing the tops from the carrots. You will often see them in markets with the tops on and that is perfectly ok. But it's important to remove them when you get home because the plant will actually suck moisture and nutrients from the root, the part we like, to keep the greenery, the part the plant likes, alive. The same is true for radish and parsnip.
The peas are perfect and very sweet, but don't forget that these are garden peas, not pea pods or snap peas, so the pod is fibrous and the pea within is the part we are meant to eat. The are delicious in salad, pasta, or just on their own. My son loves to shell them with me and just eat them, and I'm guessing that's true for most kids.
*Enjoy*
