Share Notes
- Brussels Sprouts: Enjoy the frost-kissed sprouts in your share this week. Brussels are one of the crops that really tastes noticeably better after a hard frost. Most of the commercial Brussels sprout production in this country is done in costal California, where temperatures are cool, but where it also rarely frosts. This is too bad because it means most people will never get to experience the frost sweetened sprouts we often experience here in the Pacific Northwest.
- Leeks: The plump and beautiful Tadorna leeks in your share this week are the last of the season, so make them your favorite way and enjoy.
- Winter Squash: The Delicata variety in particular has relatively thin skin (so thin you can eat it, no peeling needed) and a creamy and nutty flavor making is great for baking and steaming. Delicata should keep for several weeks in a cool and dry part of the kitchen away from direct sunlight, although due to its thinner skin is known to not keep for quite as long as all the other thicker skinned winter squashes.
