These tiny plants pack a huge flavor.
Red Russian Kale, Napa Cabbage, radish micro, dill and Tuscan Kale. These are all from thinning out our seedlings in the greenhouse. I always love making salads off of our thinnings #nofoodwaste

DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Does "thinning" In farming mean the same thing as "thinning" when you get a haircut? Maybe a dumb question, but I don't know! -
olivettefarm 8yr @Rachna pretty similar! Sometimes when we seed in the greenhouse we accidentally drop multiple seeds into a cell. There's not enough room in each cell for multiple seeds to grow healthy before planting out, so we generally pinch one off, or thin it out to let the other grow healthy. -
DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Ohh so interesting!!!! I can't wait to come down to visit

olivettefarm 8yr @Rachna you're welcome anytime!

JenniferEmilson 8yr How interesting!!
Fairy tale eggplant.

JoanneG I make these cute baby eggplant parm stacks with baby eggplant.
Mini zucchini
Mini golden and green zucchini with blossoms still attached. A rare and delicious treat for us! It's hard to consistently catch them in this stage. #nofoodwaste

MargaretG My fave! And almost impossible to find a farmer who will sell them to you in this stage so you def have to grow your own (or pay a fortune!)

DietID_TeamDietitians Yes so beautiful! I only got to see this from my parents' garden
Chou Farci - last night's dinner.
My lovely wife made this amazing chou farci using our Napa cabbage. It's a French cabbage cake filled with layers of spiced pork, beef, carrots onions, thyme, and red wine. #NoFoodWaste

JenniferEmilson I've been sitting on this recipe for ages! Must get around to it. Looks so yummy!
Eat your turnip greens!
Don't get rid of your turnip greens! Chop them off of your turnips before storing in the fridge in order to help the greens and roots last longer. We like to lightly sauté the greens in garlic and ...

FarmerDave I add them to a simple stir fry with ginger and tamari. I never used to keep turnip greens, but I'm so glad I do now.
-
RahulRaRa I wonder if you can use these greens like you use spinach in some Indian flatbreads.
-
olivettefarm @RahulRaRa I bet you could. The turnips greens will cook a little quicker than spinach does possibly. @FarmerDave that sounds good! Gonna have to try that.
