New to the Grab-n-Go cooler this week is a beautiful Asian Spinach variety called Tatsoi! Packed with nutrients and mild flavors of spinach and mustard, this dark leafy green is a kitchen staple to toss into dishes like lasagna, omelets, or a simple crockpot Palak Paneer. The veggie cooler is also stocked with hearty bunches of Dino and Curly Kale which are both great in massaged kale salads or sauteed with flavorful additions of onions and garlic! A friendly reminder that the Grab-n-Go cooler is open 24/7 with convenient card or tap to pay options, making healthy eating hassle-free!

Chilly morning and nighttime temperatures are the perfect treat for our cool-season plants like kale, broccoli, and cabbage. While our daytime weather is still warm, the coming weeks will be full of planting more Fall crops so they get a headstart of growth before colder weather sets in. Numerous trays of perfectly germinated Happy Rich broccoli, a blue ribbon variety for our climate, will soon be planted alongside Cauliflower, Asian Lettuce, and newly seeded beets and carrots. If these veggies excite your creative culinary side, be sure to stay tuned as they will be coming to the Grab-N-Go cooler soon!
