Winter veggies don’t normally get me excited the way their summer counter parts do, well that was until I received my most recent shipment of Boston Organics. Here were my two gems:
golden & candy striped beets
watermelon radish
The watermelon radishes were from Wintermoon Farm in Hadley, MA and the beet varieties came from Vermont.
When i opened the box I did not even notice the radishes, to be quite honest they looked like unripe turnips. It wasn’t until i read the newsletter that I discovered the treasure I possessed. Once sliced, these greenish-white veggies will display a vibrant splash of color much resembling a watermelon. So what did I make with my tasty treats- a colorful salad to brighten up my winter glum.
Not something I would expect to eat in February, definitely cured my winter food blues!
