Eat your radish greens!
Small radishes like this one tend to have nice, tender greens that taste very similar to the radish themselves. Use them to add a little spice to your greens mix. #nofoodwaste #FoodRevolution

sugardetoxme 8yr I love baby radishes and turnips. Eat the whole thing!! BTW, I wanted to let you know that those lacewings work like a charm indoors! No aphids! -
JenniferEmilson 8yr Oh yes- I roast them just like kale or Brussels sprouts chips!! -
olivettefarm 8yr @JenniferEmilson yes! So good.
-
olivettefarm 8yr @sugardetoxme yay! So glad they worked. 👍 for going that route.
-
KristenBeddard 8yr So good with pasta!! -
DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr So yummy in a greens mix! -
Riki 8yr The greens too ? I've never tried to eat the greens , but will try be brave and give it a shot. Serve it fresh or sautéed ? -
olivettefarm 8yr @Riki fresh or sautéed are both great! As long as the radishes are small then the greens should be nice and tender. They'll get tough and bitter as the radish gets large
-
olivettefarm 8yr @Rachna agreed!
Field lettuce.
I love the seemingly endless options for lettuce colors and textures. Here's just a few of the varieties we're growing.
Baby bunching onion.
We like to crisp up the roots in a pan and add them to our greens/salads. #nofoodwaste

BethIsGreen I do that all the time. Thanks for sharing. Love your #NoFoodWaste tips!
Cilantro Microgreens
I'm a little obsessed with these right now. They are a pain to harvest, but have such an amazing flavor.
-
sugardetoxme How do you harvest them? Just a sharp pair of scissors snipping away?
-
olivettefarm @sugardetoxme we use sharp harvest knives. They're a little easier to move around in the trays. Same knives we use for lettuce and other leafy greens.
Leafy green harvest today.
A sampling of some of what's coming out of the fields today. Red Russian Kale, Tuscan Kale, Collards & Chard.

DietID_TeamDietitians Nice!!! Are these baby? Or full size?
-
