Red and Green…

We are back to our normal schedule this week and will be at Uptown on Wednesday and in Scottsdale on Saturday with all sorts of pristine leafy greens.

These gorgeous Salanova Bibb Red and Green lettuce heads are almost too pretty to eat.  Almost.  Salanova lettuces have a beautiful flavor and texture, and twice the number of leaves of other Bibb lettuce heads.  When storing, keep the lettuce head intact, only removing leaves from the base as needed.  This will allow you to extend the shelf life.   They are so pretty that I have put them in dishes of water and used as centerpieces before.

Along with the Salanova Bibb lettuces, we will also have assorted colors of beets, chards and kales that will be coming to the markets.  And there will be plenty of freshly harvested broccoli, like the one below.  See you at the markets!
