The First Fall Squash of the year is here to say "HI". Spaghetti squash is so versatile that you can literally use it as a spaghetti noodle substitute. It's a squash that dreams it's a pasta...(or maybe spaghetti pasta is dreaming it could be a squash??)
I usually cook all my fall/winter squash the same. Cut them in half and turn them upside down on an oiled pan and back until fork tender. From there you can season and use however you desire.
Fall radishes are also appearing and will continue through the cooler weather.
We will begin cycling through the many apple varieties that will be available...and eventually, we will land on one of my top 5 favorite things of each year...Asian Pears!!

Disclaimer: Different size boxes allow for different items, either by type or by quantity.
The items in each box vary and no box will include the entire list above. Fulls will have the greatest variety, and bases will have more variety than the minis.
Arugula
Storage: Arugula should be refrigerated and kept dry. Storing the arugula in a resealable container paper towel can help the greens stay dry.
Storage: Consume fresh broccoli as soon as you can as it will not keep long. To store, mist the unwashed heads, wrap loosely in damp paper towels, and refrigerate. Use within 2 to 3 days. Do not store broccoli in a sealed container.
Storage: Snip off the bottom of the stems and ensure the leaves are dry. Fill a jar or a water glass partially with water and place the stem ends of the herbs into the water in the jar. Loosely cover and store in the fridge
Storage: Store whole fresh eggplant at room temperature. Keep it away from melons, bananas, and other ethylene producers. Once ripe, refrigerate in the crisper drawer.
Storage: For a bunch of whole leaves, it's all about avoiding excess moisture. Wrap the bunch of kale in a layer of paper towels, and store in a container in the refrigerator crisper drawer. The kale should be in great shape for 3-5 days.
Storage: Wrap the cucumber in beeswax wrap and store in the crisper drawer. Keeping the cucumber wrapped minimizes the amount of moisture. This should keep it cold enough to stay fresh for 7+ days.
Storage: For a bunch of whole leaves, it's all about avoiding excess moisture. Wrap the bunch of kale in a layer of paper towels, and store in a container in the refrigerator crisper drawer. The kale should be in great shape for 3-5 days.
Storage: Store in the plastic clam shell in the fridge.
Recipe:Add to warm meals such as rice dishes, stir-fries, omelets, soups or freshly made burger patties. Other interesting uses for sprouts include blending them into smoothies and pancake batters or grinding them into a paste to spread on bread, crackers, or vegetables.
Sugar Cube Cantaloupe
Storage: After reaching desired ripeness store in your crisper drawer.
Sweet Corn
Storage: Store the ears wrapped tightly in beeswax wrap in the refrigerator. Consume within 3 days or freeze.
**You might find little bugs, but it’s nothing to be alarmed about. Organic corn is especially susceptible to earworms. Simply remove it and cut off the damaged area. The rest is more than fine to eat!
Storage: Store zucchini unwashed in a container in the crisper for up to one week. To freeze zucchini for later use, wash and cut into 1-inch chunks before freezing in a zipper-topped freezer bag.
