Greens update

[Guest guest]

Thought I'd update you on my recent experience with greens (which are slowly

coming to an end, unfortunately). I had ordered my collards, swiss chard and

kale from a few organic farms all winter long. Because I couldn't make the

drive, I had to go to the store and attempt to find things instead. Brought them

home and cooked as usual. Results were really disgusting - very tough tasting

and lack of flavor. The stems were too tough to eat. So my consensus is? The

local plants are more tender and much better tasting! Go with them whenever

possible.

If you don't think you have access to local produce, try googling " Locally

Grown " and see if there is a market anywhere near you. You still have to do

research and figure out what practices each farmer uses. I have seen pretty

broad differences in quality, quantity and diversity in products.
