New Things to Know Things About this Week!

  • Watermelon Radishes - This is what's inside those pale whitish-pinkish-greenish roots! A hot pink heart encircled by a greenish-white rind, slice 'em into half moons to make miniature watermelon snacks. All the spice is in the skin/rind, so you can meter out your level of picante as you see fit: peel for sweet and crunchy, leave unpeeled for some added punch. Great raw, lovely pickled. 
  
  • Pie Pita Pumpkins - The Sugar Pie Pumpkin in your share this week is multi-purpose: it has hull-less seeds that will roast up into tasty little snackable pepitas, AND it has sweet meat ideal for homemade pumpkin pie. OR, of course, you can carve it for Halloween. It is a pumpkin after all, and it is nearing 10/31 after all... If you decide to carve it, you can still save the seeds and enjoy half of Pie Pita's culinary purpose.
