Fresh Tarbais Shelling Beans – these are fresh beans, a creamy and delicious seasonal treat. Cook them like you would dry beans, but with no soaking and a shorter cooking time!

Red Kraut – a simple but satisfying combo of red cabbage and red beets.

Parsley Root – an herbaceous root that looks like a parsnip but has its own unique flavor, similar to parsley, but with the texture of a carrot. Great in soups!

Hakurei Turnip – fantastic sweet, tender turnip that’s really best raw, but can also be cooked. Don’t snooze on those greens either – they’re really tasty chopped into a soup at the last minute, or sautéed on their own.

Radicchio is at it’s very best this time of year – it loves the cooler weather.

Chunky Red Kuri Squash Soup with Ginger & Coconut – really vibrant fall soup with Swiss chard, fresh young ginger and delightful chunks of squash.
