CSA Week 1: Spinach, Tokyo Bekana, Red Rain, Vitamin Green


I received my first CSA delivery at my new apartment in Chicago. The boxes arrive Thursday nights, so expect to see Friday posts detailing the week’s vegetables. Here’s the haul:

Spinach
Tokyo Bekana
Red Rain
Vitamin Green

How many of these had you heard of before? I’d heard of spinach…(Well, more than heard of!)

The spinach leaves are as big as my hands and a few times larger than a plastic dinosaur.  There’s a week of creamed spinach, sautéed greens, and salad ahead of me! Any other green ideas?

  1. Red rain sounds more like a threat than a food!

    1. I also thought the new greens sounded like great band names. I'll be the drummer for Vitamin Green!
