Red Potatoes
Grower: Clarion River Organics
Store:Store potatoes in a cool, well ventilated place. Colder temperatures lower than 50 degrees, such as in the refrigerator, cause a potato’s starch to convert to sugar, resulting in a sweet taste and discoloration when cooked.
Recipe: Buttery Roasted Crushed Potatoes, Loaded Baked Potato Rounds, Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
Rhubarb
Grower: Clarion River Organics
Store: Fresh rhubarb is quite perishable. Place the stalks in a plastic bag to retain moisture and store for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator crisper drawer. To freeze, cut the rhubarbstalks into 1-inch chunks and seal in an airtight bag. Frozen rhubarb will keep up to a year at 0 degrees F.

Green Garlic
Grower: Clubhouse Gardens
Store:Green garlic should be stored in the refrigerator, where it will keep for 5-7 days. Wrap the green garlic in a damp paper towel and place it in a plastic bag; or for a non-plastic alternative, stick the green garlic in a tall glass with some water in the bottom.
Recipe: Green garlic is great used in any recipe that you would use garlic or scallions in!
Hydroponic Lettuce
Grower: Harmony Grove Farm
Store: Leave the heads intact and unwashed until you use them. Then, place them in the crisper drawer in your fridge with some paper towels.They’ll absorb any excess moisture, so your lettuce doesn’t spoil prematurely. Lettuce bruises easily, so be careful not to shove other foods up against it. Using a storage container is better than a bag, which can end up squished against other items.
Recipe: Korean Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps, Italian Chopped Salad
Broccoli Microgreens
Grower: Harmony Grove Farm
Store: Keep microgreens between damp paper towels, and make sure they are cold and covered in a resealable bag or container. Wrapped this way, they’ll last in the fridge for about a week
Recipe: Vegetarian Ramen with Microgreens, 12 Microgreen Recipes Packed with Macro Flavor, Mushroom & Microgreen Omelet
Salanova Salad Mix
Grower: Clarion River Organics/Grow Pittsburgh
Store: Put your lettuce into a nice big bowl, and drape a paper towel or two over the top so moisture doesn’t settle on the leaves while your salad sits in the fridge. Cover the whole thing with a really tight seal of plastic wrap, and store.
Bok Choy
Grower: Kistaco Farm
Store: Store bok choy in a plastic bag in the crisper section of your refrigerator for up to a week. Wash immediately before serving.
Recipe: Ginger and Garlic Bok Choy, Smothered Chicken with Bok Choy, Spicy Roasted Bok Choy
Buckwheat Flour
Grower: Weatherbury Farm
Store: Store in a cool place.
Recipe: Light and Fluffy Buckwheat Pancakes, Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies, Buckwheat Pasta
Maple Syrup
Grower: Weeping Willow Farm
Store: Store maple syrup in the refrigerator for up to a year.
Recipes: Cornbread Muffins with Maple Butter, Maple Pecan Granola
