Tenderstem in Camel CSA’s vegetable boxes
Posted on July 1st, 2016 No commentsWe have tenderstem in our boxes this week, cultivated by our external grower Richard Hoare at Restharrow Farm, Trebetherick. Tenderstem is exactly that – a cross between calabrese and Chinese kale that doesn’t need trimming and can be cooked and eaten in its entirety. So no waste!
In all the boxes this week:-
*carrots
*Swiss chard
*green onions
*Cornish new potatoes (Mark Norman, Bodmin)
