Notes on the Box
The first beets of the season are making an appearance in the box this week! Be sure to use the beet tops as well as the roots- they're some of the best tasting greens you'll find. You can cook them up like any other green, either sauteed, or gently steamed. The baby spinach is perfect for salads this time of year when the leaves are still very tender. Kohlrabi is unfamiliar to many of you, so you can read more about it here. I love to eat kohlrabi raw- sliced very thinly and sprinkled with a little sea salt. And finally, try something new with the garlic scapes this week- it will be the last of them for the remainder of the season. I put them on the grill alongside some tempeh burgers last night and they were amazing. Join our Facebook community and share your favorite ways to cook up your box!
