Mild, Crunchy, Creamy
This is a very versatile and unique produce. Bring exotic flare to any Salad, Stir Fry, Curry, "Ratatouille", "Ragout", or Medley. The Hearts of Palm are very rich in Iron and Calcium with a mild flavor that can easily be overpowered by strong onion and garlic. It never hurts to be adventurous on a new vegetable option.
Silky, "Green" Flavor
The Nettle can be added to soups, "sets", sauces, and salads. The Nettle leaves must be soaked in water or cooked to remove the "stinging" aspect of the plant. The Stinging Nettle have small hollow hairs that act as hypodermic needles that inject histamine. Blanch, Soak, Puree, Stew.
Fresh, Complex, Delicate
Short Seasonal delicacy. The Miner's Lettuce was named for the Miners of the California Gold Rush, who ate the plant to prevent scurvy. Miner's Lettuce is a member of the Purslane Family and can be incorporated into fresh salads and wilted into sets. Raw, Wilt, Puree.
