Week 9: Try Something New!

Posted on April 23rd, 2021 by Dru Zucchino

When we surveyed our CSA customers last year, an overwhelming majority wanted to see a greater diversity of product. Well, here's your chance to try something new!

How about those fresh cut bamboo shoots!? We've never had them (other than out of a can), and wow, what a showstopper! It's like a leek, a potato, an apple and turnip all at once! Tender and crunchy, fry it in butter, toast it, roast it, whatever! It's so versatile and seems to accept whatever flavors you throw at it: vinegar, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, wine--the list goes on and on. If you can't tell, WE'RE TURNING INTO PANDAS OVER HERE! Bamboo shoots are definitely a seasonal product, so get them while they last. We don't know if there are too many places around that have them fresh cut, and local to WNC! 

Here's some other rare and limited items available this week: Quail Eggs and Nettle Kraut. Load up while these items last!

Don't forget to sign up for the summer season before May 9th, or you'll miss a week!
