Fall CSA Week 2

Oh, the lowly potato, so often the bane of the modern dieter, is greatly misunderstood.  Of all the vegetables we grow, it is the one a person could survive on the longest, with nothing else in the diet.  It is a true whole food, and when assisted by high quality fats--olive oil or grass fed cow butter--it is nearly perfect.  Potatoes are high in Vitamins C and B, and are rich in calcium, iron, phosphorus, and potassium.  Potatoes are not high in absolute protein, but rank very high on the biological value scale of protein--that is, the amount of nitrogen that is readily accessible to the human body.  It ranks just behind eggs!  The energy-rich carbohydrates of the potato are used slowly by the body, providing energy over a long period of time.

So eat your potatoes this week!!!

Also, I've noticed some people aren't fans of the microgreens.  They are the most vitamin-rich food you will ever eat!  Juice them!  Hold your nose and gulp them down!  Please!!!!

If you could eat a really yummy miracle food, why wouldn't you???

In this weeks share:

Salad mix with kale and radish microgreens
Beets or turnips

Peppers or cabbage
