It's CORN
A big lump with knobs
It has the juice (It has the juice)
I can't imagine a more beautiful thing (Woo)
It's corn
I can tell you all about it
I mean, look at this thing
When I tried it with butter, everything changed

("It's Corn" by Tariq, The Gregory Brothers and Recess Therapy)

One line from this viral ode to corn from a seven-year-old is pretty deep:

We LOVE this sweet corn. Best ever.
But at Yellowbird we also LOVE what we do--
we appreciate being able to work hard to get you the best local, quality food.
And we appreciate the hard work of our growers, box packers, and drivers!

beautiful broccolini

...but what is broccolini?
 
Developed in Japan and growing in fame here, broccolini's stems are as tender and yummy as the florets. A hybrid of broccoli and gai lan (Chinese kale), broccolini cooks up just like regular broccoli, but faster (and with a sweeter finish). Nothing not to like about that!
