This week’s CSA basket from R & C Farms boasts red and green leaf lettuce, scallions, red and golden beets, some sweeeeeet sugar snap peas and “flushed” broccoli.
CSA Week 3
Say what?
According to farmer Cindy Simons, the broccoli florets look a little yellow because of the torrential rains this week. Like we need another reason to be annoyed by this wet weather.
“I don’t want you to think we gave you old broccoli,” said the Scituate farmer. “It may look old, but the rain soaked the broccoli so much that the water just ‘flushed’ through it. I made an omelet with it to check it out and it’s fine.”
Well, it looks interesting…
