November 24, 2019 By Emma Murphy, Owner

Rootabaga – November 24, 2019

As we head into the colder, longer days, some of the local veggies we’ve become accustomed to throughout the summer & fall will no longer be available. This is a great time of year to try to incorporate some new veggies into your routine such as kohlrabi, celeriac, pea-shoots, sprouts. We will be introducing some of these over the next few weeks! This weeks large subscription includes kohlrabi, a large bulbous vegetable belonging to the brassica family (like broccoli, kale and cabbage), we will be using this in our stir fry to add a different texture and flavour to the dish. Kohlrabi can also be roasted in the oven, grated into a salad or slaw or blended into a soup!
