 Rutabaga Rutabaga is at market now. It is a yellow brown root vegetable that is part of the cabbage family. We are featuring it because it is a very underused vegetable, possibly because it's not the prettiest looking and people are worried about peeling and preparing it. We encourage you to try it. Rutabaga is lower in carbs than a potato, making this a really healthy alternative to them. Try our recipe this week. When roasted the rutabaga chunks are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside like a roast potato but with significantly lower carbs.
Here's what's up for this week. For a full vendor listing see below. - March Farms will NOT be at market this week. - Steadfast Farms will be at market, but need to leave at noon. - New vendor Green Gorilla Farm is joining us regularly with their microgreens - Horticulture Therapy Farm participates this week offering honey and cat grasses - Guest artist - Real & Co. - soy candles, soaps and artwork - Gurest artist - Rose Street Radiance - handmade suncatchers, jewelry, candles Our recipe this week is Roasted Rutabaga with Maple Syrup. It's in the same family as turnips, but is sweeter, especially when roasted. It's an easy, delicious side dish - a lower carb alternative to potatoes. It's so quick to prepare, why not give it a try?
