Asian Greens

Asian Greens can encompass quite a few different leafy vegetables such as Napa Cabbage and Bok Choy as well as those that will be presented here. They are available in Spring and Fall Shares when they grow best.  They are interchangeable within recipes but do have different textures and shapes and flavors.  All plants are excellent sources of calcium and vitamins A, C. 




Some of the Asian Greens we grow:

Yukina Savoy and Tatsoi which are very similar.  Flowering Asian greens are a delicacy!


Here's a nice and quick pasta recipe I like to add much more veggies to this dish though...mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes etc... 


Tokyo Bekana good with everything! People often think it is lettuce and we usually use it as lettuce in our mixes. Isn’t spicy at all even at full size.
