Market Open - new items this week

Hi Folks,

One of the advantages of shopping locally is that you have access to some products that are not in the normal chains of commerce because they don’t ship easily. Such is the case with a product we have available to you this week. Romanesco is a Brassica vegetable that has been cultivated since the 16th century in Italy. It is similar to a broccoli or cauliflower (some call it Broccoflower, but that is inaccurate.) What makes this product hard to ship is it’s somewhat fragile and fantastic shape. That is a shame becuase the flavor and texture of this food is fabulous. Use it as you would either broccoli or cauliflower, i.e. either cooked or raw. Mark Twain once said that “Cauliflower is just Cabbage with a college education.” That being the case, Romanesco has a PhD! The shape is a wonder of our Creator’s design and is based on both a Fibonacci sequence and Fractal design. If you miss out this week, don’t worry. We have plenty more coming on for the next few weeks.

Blessings to all,

Bob and Lynnita
