Share Notes:

Remember that next week, we will deliver on Tuesday, November 25th! If you will be out of town for this delivery day, simply log in to your account and set a delivery hold.

Now on to this week’s vegetable line-up:

• Pumpkin—Luxury pie. You can either try your hand at a pumpkin bread or a pie, or (my favorite) cube this vegetable up and either roast or grill it with a little cumin and a pinch of brown sugar. Pumpkins are excellent when treated as a savory vegetable rather than a sweet dessert.
• Tatsoi—This Asian green is very similar to spinach. It’s both cold and heat tolerant and has a great mellow flavor and juicy crunch.
• Acorn Squash—Sweet Reba variety. This vegetable is great on the grill or roasted with some sweet apples and red onion.
• Kale—Large shares received Lacinato and the small shares received Red Russian. So delicious, and as long as we can, we’ll keep this staple coming. Try the roasted vegetable recipe here: Squash and Kale Salad.
• Arugula—Because of the frost, this delicious green has sweetened but still has the classic arugula flavor without the spice.
• Sweet Potatoes—Feel free to save these up if you aren’t able to finish them off each week. They will store well into winter!
• Fall Greens Mix—This beautiful bag of goodness is our own custom mix of frost tolerant and tender greens. The mix includes 6 gorgeous varieties including green frills and scarlet frills mustard, Asian mustard varieties Mizuna, and minutina, and two mild Asian greens, Hon Tsai tai and Komatsuna, which are a bit like broccoli raab or boc choi. These combine into an eye catching and delicious mix of different flavors and textures on the plate and are suitable for using in salads or for braising or roasting. Enjoy!

Storage tips:

This week, all your greens should be stored in the refrigerator, sealed up to retain their moisture. The acorn squash and pumpkin can last a few weeks but use them within a month for best quality. Keep the dirt on them for now and store them at room temp. As a general rule, wait to wash any of these veggies until you’re ready to use them.
