What to do with them? How to Store? Recipes below!

kale – the trick to excellent kale is massaging it. We know this sounds silly, but kale is quite fibrous so if you’re eating it raw, massaging it is important as it breaks down those tough fibers. After a good rub down so you’ll have a more supple leaf to work with. It doesn’t take much, either massage it whole or slice thinly and massage in a bowl, you’ll see the kale darken and you’re done! Check out this video for a trick to remove the stem quickly. Lately we’ve been eating kale every night, we sauté some garlic and onion, add a few tablespoons of jerk sauce, then add a whole bunch of chopped kale, cook until wilted. Sprinkle with feta and enjoy.

(store in a plastic bag in the fridge)

radishes – crunchy, peppery, and fresh we love these little beauties. The greens are edible as well as the roots, so why not use them in a salad, make a pesto, or try in a chimichurri. The roots are nice in salads, topped on buttered bread, or roasted!

(remove the roots from the tops, store in the fridge in a bag)

spinach – this one is pretty straight forward.

lettuce mix – you know the drill! Store in the fridge.

dill – we like it over fresh fish, but if you don't plan on using within the next week or so, simply chop up, sprinkle on a baking sheet, put in the freezer until frozen, then transfer to another container to store in the freezer until you need it.

(store in a jar with an inch of water at the bottom in your fridge - like a bouquet of flowers.

scallions – have you tried grilled scallions yet!?

(store in the veggie drawer in the fridge)

bok choy – enjoy in a stirfry or maybe even grill on the BBQ.

(store in the vegi drawer in your fridge)

strawberries – you know what to do with these!

enjoy ASAP!
