Fall Food Box Week 5 - November 9th
Check out what local, organic, and spray free produce you'll be receiving this week! You will receive 6 of the 8 items listed below!
Organic Green Tomatoes from Green Valley Organics
Although they look and feel like they could be apples, these green tomatoes are in fact tomatoes, but have a more acidic and tart flavour than red tomatoes. Consider using them for a relish, soup or even frying them!
Organic Parsnips from Oak Valley Organics
Although often compared to the carrot, there are some key differences. First of all, they are noticeably starchier than their carrot cousins. They are sweeter, too, with a nuttier flavour. But like carrots, they are excellent any way - roasted, mashed, or sautéed, shaved into salads, simmered in stews, or, yes, folded into tender, sweet cakes. All that being said, they do pair excellently with carrots.

Organic Green Kale from Blue Lagoon Organics
Strip all the kale leaves off the stems and store in a large ziplock bag in the fridge. It lasts for at least 2 weeks! Kale is a tougher green, however one of the most nutritious - filled with fibre, folate, vitamin A and K. It's a nice salad green for a fall salad, or mix with other lettuce/greens that you have. Dice it up into fine pieces for an egg scramble or omelette with tomatoes and any other veggies you have.
