This week's Recipes
Shopping List
1. In the box (in order of what to eat first):
Lettuce - Keep damp in an airtight container in the fridge. Keeps for one week.
Spinach - Store loose in an open container in the crisper, cool as soon as possible. Spinach loves to stay cold.
Arugula - Wash and dry well. Wrap with a damp paper towel and store in a glass container in the fridge. Lasts up to 5 days.
Red Kale and Green Mustard - Remove any bands, twist ties, etc. Most greens must be kept in an air‐tight container with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out. Kale, collard greens, and chard do well in a cup of water on the counter or fridge. Do not wash until ready to use.
Spring Garlic - Store in your crisper. Best used within a week but may last a little longer.
Spring Onions - Store in your crisper. Best used within a week but may last a little longer.
Savoy Cabbage - Left out on a cool counter is fine up to a week, in the crisper otherwise. Peel off outer leaves before cooking.
Tokyo Turnips - Remove the greens (store separately), store them in an open container with a moist cloth. Lasts up to a week.
Artichokes - Bag and place in the crisper to keep these fresh for 7+ days.
Lemons, Navel Oranges (Twin Girls) - These lemons and oranges may have a sticker on them as they are sold in markets and stores in the area. Sometimes our order is placed after they're individually labeled. They're organically grown in Fresno, CA by Twin Girls Farm. Leave at room temperature until you're ready to eat them.
