It was EXTREMELY exciting to pick up the first box of produce! I went to the pickup spot - The Grassroots Environmental Group in Port Washington - and found what looked like 100 medium sized cardboard boxes stacked up in the waiting area. I signed off next to my name on the sheet that was sitting out by the boxes, then took a box off to the side where I opened it and placed the contents into the bags I'd brought. What was in my box?
- A bag of baby arugula
- A red Boston lettuce
- A bunch of the biggest radishes I'd ever seen
- A bag of bunched arugula
- A bunch of spinach: beautiful giant dark green leaves
As soon as I got home, I took out one of the giant radishes, washed it and cut it into slices. I sprinked it with sea salt and took a bite -- delicious! Crunchy, tangy, spicy, but not overpowering or bitter.
