What's in the share?

Broccoli

Red Beets
These are so sweet and delicious. Don't forget the greens which are a veg all their own! It's one of our 2-for-1 veggies! Just remember to store the greens separately from the roots so they stay fresh and they don't wilt.
Storage: Separate the roots from the leaves and store both in an an airtight container/bag in the refrigerator. Uses: Best Cooked, but you can eat the roots raw. When to use: Within 5 days.

Butternut Winter Squash
Storage: In a cool, dry spot. It's ok on the counter for up to a week. Uses: Cooked When to use: Within 7 days.

Parsley
Make a parsley pistou and freeze it to dollop on your vegetable soups all winter long. You can also wash the parsley, spin dry and pack into a ziploc bag (or glass jar) to toss in the freezer. When you're cooking this winter, grab a handful of frozen leaves to bring bright green color and fresh flavor to your dishes!
Storage: In an airtight container/bag in the refrigerator. Uses: Raw When to use: Within 5 days.
What I'm making with it.... This bunch I'll be freezing for use in the winter.

Leeks
Always wonderful in soup. You can also cook them solo and let their flavor the delicate texture shine!
Storage: In an airtight container/bag in the refrigerator. Uses: Raw When to use: Within 5 days.
What I'm making with it.... More salad! I'll save a few leaves to use on a sandwich.

Escarole
It looks like lettuce, but it has frilly leaves and it's actually a chicory. Perfect for soup!
Storage: In an airtight container/bag in the refrigerator. Uses: Raw/Cooked When to use: Within 5 days.
