A shipment arrived containing some of the most incredible chicories we’ve ever seen come through our warehouse. Pictured above are the mixed heirloom chicories, baby size. We also have Rosa di Gorizia, pictured below, variegated Castelfranco radicchio, and pink Radicchio del Veneto.
Who says late winter has to be all root vegetables? The crisp chicories above are a natural pair with the heirloom citrus that’s at its peak right now. Blood Pumellos, new to us this year, are everything you want in a grapefruit but can’t get, like a perfect acid-to-sweetness ratio, and a grapefruit-meets-tangerine peel aromatic oils. Oroblancos, also known as melogolds, are another grapefruit cousin with white-gold flesh and, as billed a mellow sweetness.
Muscat Grapes are now in, and Knoll Farm Green Garlic is arriving twice weekly. Richter Rhubarb is now available. The short Greengage Plum season is now here- use fresh, or lacto-ferment some for later. Expected Saturday: Will Brokaw’s Passion Fruit! From Will Brokaw, grower of the excellent avocados we are anticipating in about two weeks. A first for us, can’t wait to try it.
