The Fruit
2 Grapefruits, 2 oranges, 2 apples, 5 lemons and 5 tiny oranges which may be Satsumas or might be blood oranges. Last week was a surprise when I cut open my little oranges and they were actually blood oranges. Very tasty though!
The Veggies
Radishes, Kale.. I'm assuming, alien vegetable, 2 sweet squashes, 2 garlic and there was the salad mix that we get every time (not pictured)
Okay... we really need to take a closer look at the alien vegetable. I had no idea what it was other than it must be in the broccoli family.
Up close... still weird, right? I looked it up and it is something called a Romanesco. It is a type of broccoli and was actually delicious! Since I had no idea what to do with it I tasted it raw and it is very similar to broccoli, but a little more flavorful and more tender. So we ended up just eating it raw with dinner a couple nights this week, if I get another this week maybe I'll try a few cooked recipes.
That is a crazy looking vegetable! This CSA thing sounds pretty cool.. where can I get hooked up with it? ~Mandy
ReplyDeleteThere are local ones all over the place. Here's a CSA database, I'll bet you can find one close to you.
