Cherry Tomatoes, Hedlin Farm, La Conner, WA - Juicy, sweet, and thin-skinned, these little tomatoes get their namesake from the fruit, being the same size and shape.
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.
Rhubarb, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA - This tangy spring classic is perfect for baking into pies, crumbles, or simmering into a bright tart compote.
Spinach, Ralph’s Greenhouse, Mount Vernon, WA - Fresh, tender, and packed with nutrients, spinach is great tossed into salads, folded into omelets, or lightly wilted into pasta.
Green Curly Kale, Spring Time Farm, Everson, WA - With its ruffled leaves and rich flavor, this sturdy kale is great sautéed, tossed into soups, or massaged into a hearty salad.
French Breakfast Radishes, Spring Time Farm, Everson, WA - These elegant, oblong radishes have a gentle peppery bite and a hint of sweetness. Try them sliced on buttered toast with flaky salt or roasted whole for a mellow treat. They're a classic in Parisian breakfasts for a reason!
Mentuccia Romana, The Crows Farm, Bow, WA - This Italian herb has a flavor profile somewhere between oregano and mint. "Popular in Tuscany, it is often used with dishes featuring mushrooms or fatty meats. In southern Italy, it is sometimes brewed for tea or used to flavor cheeses. In Rome it is used for Carciofi alla Romana: artichoke stuffed with bread crumbs, garlic, mentuccia, and olive oil and braised in white wine."
