Market – November 2nd

November 1, 2013 By Blue Skys Farm

We’ve got a new item for you tomorrow at the market…Napa/Chinese Cabbage!  Look at those beautiful heads!

 
Chinese cabbage can refer to two distinct varieties of Chinese leaf vegetable.  The first variety, Chinensis, do not form heads; instead, they have smooth, dark green leaf blades forming a cluster.  An example of this variety is Bok Choi.  The second variety, Pekinensis have broad green leaves with white petioles, tightly wrapped in a cylindrical formation and usually forming a compact head.  The cabbage we are bringing to market is of this second variety.  The website sheknows.com has a great collection of recipe ideas for Napa Cabbage including:
Napa Cabbage Rolls
Quick Kimchi
Napa Cabbage Stir Fry
Napa Cabbage Slaw
Napa Cabbage Spring Rolls
Napa Cabbage Taco Topping
Napa Cabbage Soup

In addition to Napa/Chinese Cabbage we will also be bringing the following items to market:
Bright Lights Swiss Chard
Rainbow Lacinato Kale
Blue Skys Mesculun Mix
Fall Frilly Mix

Kim’s Custom Salad Mix
We will also be bringing items from Pak Express to market.  Chang has to be out of town tomorrow so she has left us with some of her beautiful produce.

Beets
Carrots
Lemongrass

Sorry, no Nime Chow.  :-/
Hope to see you at the market.  Ed and I will be attending as customers tomorrow as the crops are slowing down and it is time for Christina to start tightening the purse strings for the long winter ahead.  I will be back for the last market though to cover for Christina who will be on a well-deserved vacation.
