Ideas for Food Prep:

  • Roast the beets to have on hand
  • Go ahead and pre-wash your arugula! Make sure you’ve got salad dressings on hand.
  • Trim the greens off your radishes and turnips. Wash the turnip greens, so they can be cooked spur of the moment. Or cook them and have them available to add to recipes.
  • Wash the turnips and radishes to have on hand for snacks.

Here are some recipes to try!
