Share Notes
- Beets: Your beets this week are a mix of red, gold and chioggia varieties; enjoy the array of colors and flavors. While the Italian heirloom chioggias have striking red and white concentric rings when cut open, the color will fade with cooking.
- Onions, Torpedo: This fresh onion is an Italian heirloom variety, and gets it’s name from the elongated shaped bulb that resemble a torpedo or spindle. Its flesh is sweet, mild and tender.
