I am very excited to be looking at greens for the spring. Bright colored and fresh. This has been a long winter for this "newbe" to eating local. I am ready to pass by potatoes and carrots. Here come the spring crops. BUT before we leave carrots just a mention I had some wonderful carrots that were given to me in my CSA, they were purple and orange. These baby carrots stay in the ground over the winter and then are harvested. Can you say SWEET! the grandchildren got such a hoot out of the color and we made up all kinds of carrot stories from the long winter.
A key thing that I have learned is to let go of my traditional eating habits. A meal of carrots, braised greens, sliced tomatoes (hot house here in Maine) and freshly sliced cheese is really just wonderful.
Will fill you in on the new "greens" CSA experience.
