Wk 42 Produce
|
It's hard to find any “new” produce this time of the year, but we do have some returning items. We are in the heart of root veggie and winter squash season. We try a delicate balance here so you don’t get too tired of these items, while still supporting our farmers.
|
|
Returning: bok choy (pac choi), swiss chard, & beets (golden and red)

💥 Pop Quiz 💥
There are so many details to remember when you start at Fair Shares, and also, policies change over time, and it's not always easy to remember everything, so here's a reminder. Don't worry, we're providing the answers for new members and for those who may have forgotten!

Pop Quiz - Vegetable Storage Answers:
|
|
1) True - Cutting the tops off root vegetables and storing them separately (even in the same bag) makes the greens and the roots last longer because they can no longer compete for moisture.
|
|
2) True - The green produce bags are compostable and not plastic, but not all produce lasts very long in them.
|
|
3) True - Mushrooms stored in the middle back of the refrigerator will often dry nicely if ignored (then you can rehydrated them to use).
|
|
4) True - Mushrooms stored in the produce drawer tend to mold quickly, too moist in there. Yes moist!
|
5) True - Sweet potatoes should not be stored below 55 degrees F.

Peeling radishes makes them less peppery and spicy. Slicing them thin and soaking them in water in the refrigerator makes them super crispy and perfect for dipping in hummus. Roasting them makes them sweeter and soft, and barely radish-like at all. How do you like your radishes? Tell all on our Facebook Group.
