December 6th-8th 2021 – A NEW LEAF
This past several weeks, we began harvesting new greens that we’ve been pampering in our net house. In Israel they are marketed as “baby greens” (a mesclun mix) because they are young and tender. Besides being low-calorie and high in nutrition, they are truly delicious, a perfect nosh, great in salads, in your sandwich and even stir-fried (but very lightly).
These crops grow really fast, and at times we find it hard to keep up. The first “baby greens” we sent you a few weeks ago were indeed true to their name: – babies. But in the meantime, aided by the many sunny days between the last few showers, these babies sprouted, grew, and turned into young teens. So this week, you will be receiving more substantial greens. They are still tender, soft and tasty, though they are quite big.
