CSA Box Week of April 2

April 4, 2008 in CSA

I’m a bit late with this week’s CSA post and sadly I hopped to putting the veggies away so quickly this week that I neglected to snap a photo.

The most interesting item in the box this week is cardoons.  Cardoons are actually the same species as the globe artichoke but a naturally occurring variant that look like long & sometimes much larger celery stalks.  I’m anxious to cook these and see how they taste!

Our box this week contained:

  • celery
  • parsnips
  • purple carrots – these are gorgeous!
  • mustard greens
  • spinach
  • mixed salad
  • erbette chard
  • cardoons
  • Meyer lemons – YUM!

Maybe I’ll even splurge on a dessert with those yummy Meyer lemons.  :-)
