Kale Raab, Boldly Grown Farm, Bow, WA - Raab is the flower shoot that forms on overwintered brassicas — kale, broccoli, arugula, etc. It is a vegetable ephemeral, similar to daffodils or crocuses. This beauty is great when cooked: in soups, stir-frys, pasta, risotto, or pizza. I love it sauteed with a splash of lemon juice!

Purple Fingerling Potatoes, First Cut Farm, Mount Vernon, WA - This heirloom potato has a nutty, buttery taste and is perfect for roasting, baking, boiling, smashing, or making the perfect potato salad.

Carnival Squash, Hedlin’s Family Farm, La Conner, WA - A cross between acorn and sweet dumpling, this squash is a classic in the making. It has a nutty, sweet, and buttery flavor profile — plus, the skin is edible!

Red Onions, Hopewell Farm, Everson, WA - Crunchy, sweet, and spicy, red onions are perfect on sandwiches, soups, salads, or pickled.

Red Cabbage, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA - Smaller and denser than green cabbage, this variety has a peppery taste which becomes sweeter and softer when cooked. Use it raw in salads or coleslaw, or try spicing or braising it as a savory accompaniment.

Celeriac, Spring Time Farm, Everson, WA - Also known as celery root, this weird-looking vegetable can be used the same as any tuber: mashed, roasted, even hasselbacked!

Purple Sprouting Broccoli, The Crows Farm, Mount Vernon, WA - Similar to raab, PSB is an early spring delicacy with a sweet and nutty flavor. The purple fades when cooked; try it boiled, steamed, stir-fried, griddled, roasted, or even air-fried!

PNW FRUIT SHARE
