Next Fresh Thing: New Products at HL (NY)

Here’s the new glorious produce and products coming your way this week at Healthy Living!

Produce:

Jicama – Jicama is an unusual root vegetable, it has a very interesting, crunchy texture, and is excellent with lime and chili. Jicama can be kind of large, so if you buy a jicama and need to store the rest, just wrap tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Organic Plantain – Plantains are in season! They are ready to use when they are pretty dark brown/blackish, or if you have less ripe plantains, they are very good for frying and will be more starchy.

Organic Horseradish – Spicy! Just in time for Passover and Easter.

Organic Broccoli Rabe – Broccoli Rabe is back in season! This bunched bitter green is excellent sauteed with olive oil and garlic.

Organic Endive – This bitter chicory, that is grown in total darkness to prevent chlorophyll development, is excellent grilled and roasted.

Organic Asparagus – Hurray! Organic asparagus is in season and will be on sale for a few weeks!

Organic Abate Fetel Pears – These are a beautiful and delicious pear variety that is rather elongated, with a russeted greenish yellow skin, often with a red blush. Like all pears, they are ready to eat when they yield to gentle pressure on the neck (near the stem).

Organic Bosc Pears – Bosc pears are sweet and buttery. They can be used when they are slightly firmer than other pear varieties, making them ideal for salads and poaching, because they really hold their shape.

Organic Watercress – Watercress is a superb source of Vitamin C, and is one of the oldest known plants cultivated and consumed by humankind. It’s a veritable superfood, packed with antioxidants and minerals! Recipe: Watercress Super Salad
