We don’t include dandelion greens in the boxes very often. They have a bitter taste and I know it’s not everyone’s favorite thing to eat. But dandelion greens are actually a really helpful food to add to your diet for a number of reasons. They are rich in minerals and they are also very high in prebiotics. Prebiotics are the food for those good probiotics in your gut that make everything run smoothly. You can make something as easy as a White Bean and Dandelion Green Pesto, or fry them up with some onions or make the baked egg recipe we have below. I also like to chop them up into salads with a honey mustard salad dressing and nutritional yeast. The yeast really balances the bitter. Try eating those first as they are probably the trickiest to store in the fridge and tend to wilt quickly.
I think the favorite part about the CSA box lately is adapting the recipes that I find to what I have on hand. Saving myself a trip to the grocery store means I save major dough and I use up what we have in the house which creates less food waste. Also I’m saving a lot of time and gas which is always in short supply. And I know that the veggies in the box were picked within hours of receipt. That means they are at their nutritional peak and chalked full of high vibrations. This is not just food, it’s serious medicine for your body.
