Spinach, Boldly Grown Farm, Bow, WA - Fresh, tender, and packed with nutrients, spinach is great tossed into salads, folded into omelets, or lightly wilted into pasta.
Yellow Potatoes, First Cut Farms, Mount Vernon, WA - Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, put ‘em in a stew… my favorite is to chop, boil until fork-tender, and sautee in a breakfast hash or bake until beautifully golden. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, this is a perfect potato!
“Frizzy Joe” Mustard Greens, Mejia Romero Farms, Burlington, WA - Unique, deeply indented and frilled light, bright green leaves add superb loft and distinctive, mildly spicy flavor to mixes.
Asparagus, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA - One of spring’s stars, asparagus is delicious roasted, grilled, or simply sautéed with olive oil, lemon, and a pinch of salt.
Leek Scapes, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA - These shoots are the leek plant’s best kept secret! Mild and allium-y, these are perfect for pesto, stir fries, or grilled whole.
Red Radish, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA - Crisp and peppery, red radishes add a satisfying crunch to salads, tacos, or can be mellowed out with a quick pickle.
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!
