Photos of some dishes – scroll through – links above not in photos

Purple Daikon Radish – salads, slaw, thin slice raw, shredded onto salads, stir fry, pickled, kimchi, roasted, Daikon Au Gratin, Purple Daikon Radish Salad – scroll down

Acorn Squash -versatile winter squash with a mild, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor. Suitable for both sweet and savory dishes. It can be baked, roasted, pureed, or used as a vessel for stuffing. The skin is edible after cooking, which adds to its fiber content.

Plum Tomato – Excellent for fresh sauce and salsa; tip: when making a small batch of sauce with your plum tomatoes instead peeling and dicing -cut your tomatoes in half lengthwise when you cook them in the pot just slide the skins off as they cook then press down to help them cook down. Saves time from peeling tomatoes for the sauce.

Radish: use in salad, stir-fry or roast; yes you can use an air fryer; cooking mellows the spiciness of radish – can be cooked try creamed radish

Mizuna: Japanese Mustard; mild mustard with a peppery flavor; salad green, grain bowls, soups, stirfry, pasta

Arugula: salad, on pizza, in pasta dishes, creamed greens, pesto; when adding to a pasta dish, add it to the warm pasta and stir in to wilt; chop smaller if desired. Arugula on Veg Directory
