Notes on the share
Golden beets are in this week's share - for the first time in 3 years! I *love* the color of these beets-- so pretty when roasted and tossed with arugula and toasted walnuts in a salad. Daikon radish may be new to many of you. It's often used in Japanese cuisine. It can be sliced raw, or cooked in soups. We like to add it to a miso soup broth together with other vegetables and some udon or soba noodles. Guy Lon is just a fancy way of saying "Chinese Broccoli". We love it in a veggie stir fry! The stems can be eaten-- just remove the tough bottom inch or so. More leeks, beautiful cabbage and sweet potatoes round out the box. Sweet potatoes should be stored in a cool, dry spot (55F-60F degrees) -- Not in the fridge! -- and they should last you a few months.
