Radishes are back
French breakfast crunch comes alive
Week 14 clockwork
Last year French breakfast radishes made their appearance this very week! Enjoy them raw in salads, chunked in soup, or even sliced thin and sauteed in coconut oil. It's the time of year you can get away with soup OR salad...if it's too cold or warm outside, just wait a minute.

Ancient Wisdom from Benji (from 2021)
Let's start with something we are getting this week from Bradwood Farm up by Ashland, OH. They have been a longstanding partner of the Yellowbird and each week they pull their delivery van in on Tuesdays at about 2 pm...they are always excited to show us the plants they have grown for you and this week is no exception.
Dandelion Greens
"Dandelion's name comes from a Latin word meaning 'tooth of a lion,' and was given to describe the plants jagged long leaves."
"The young leaves of the plant lend a hint of bitterness to a green salad...as the warm season progresses the more bitter the foliage becomes, making it more suitable for wilting or using in soups or stews."
"The dandelion has always been prized for its medicinal use. It is used as a mild laxative, a diuretic and to aid digestion (including supporting the liver), and is very high in vitamins A and C, and high in iron and calcium."
REMEMBER: As whole food, plant-forward eaters, we are literally taking our medicine each day depending on what we decide to eat. Your choices for this spring are either connecting you to yourself and to the earth and to healing, OR they are moving you away from that connectivity.
Since this email is going to only those of you that have already chosen to stay CONNECTED to the earth through real, local food, I am preaching to the choir, I know.
Just keep at it. I know that sometimes our food choices can feel like they are repetitive or bland (especially in the winter), but the earth is giving us EXACTLY what we need at the right time. Keep treating yourself well as winter turns to spring and I promise you that asparagus and strawberries will be back around soon! (Just this week we got a request for more variety in the mini box, which is coming--this can also be solved by moving up a size, or ordering a flexi box available Thursdays through the Sunday night deadline).
AND we've got your Easter Essentials ready!
Dandelion Greens Potato Salad
One of the most exciting things about this recipe is the fact that it hardly costs anything. The most expensive ingredient is probably the capers, but the greens (if wild harvested from non-pesticide sprayed grass) cost absolutely NOTHING. Potatoes are very cheap. Lemon juice and olive oil are probably on hand in your kitchen. This is such a budget friendly salad, you can make a double batch and keep it in the fridge for your family to snack on whenever they want. It keeps for 2-3 days since the dandelion leaves are not as delicate as lettuce.
