Week Two of CSA and Chinese Greens


Wondering what to do with Chinese Greens? Lots of us have tried Boc Choi in stirfry or Nappa Cabbage in Kim Chee, but what about the hundreds of others? One of our staff here is very fond of chinese greens and so we planted some for her this year. I hadn't tried Shungiku, Mizuna, or Oracle Greens before and I didn't even know what the plants would look like. But we have been pleasantly surprised by the way that they are growing in our garden. Whether or not you received some in this week's box, chances are you will sometime this season. Or stop around your local Oriental Grocer and see what they have in stock.

Here is a VERY informational website to give more specific information concerning Mizuna and the like:

Please comment as to how you used or would consider using chinese greens.

  1. I tried to toss the Shungiku into a few salads, but couldn't get anyone to finish a whole piece. Far too bitter for our white bread palates I guess.
