What to do with them? How to Store? Recipes below!

beets – beets are an amazing vegetable, both the roots and the greens are edible, both raw and cooked. The roots have a sweet, earthy flavour and become sweeter when cooked. The greens taste a lot like chard and can be used the same way. We like our beets steamed or boiled and served up warm, however they're good cold too on a salad.

This sparkling beet lemonade looks good. So do these milk-braised beet greens. Or use the tops in this wilted greens with coconut milk.

(Remove greens up arriving home, leaving 1” of the stem on the roots, store in the fridge)

cilantro – check out these 18 recipes for cilantro lovers.

(store in a glass an inch of water the bottom, in the fridge)

garlic scapes – in late spring, early summer we get our first taste of garlic via scapes. They're the stem and flower of the garlic as it tries to create "seeds". We snip them off to encourage the plant to send its energy to the garlic bulb. They're edible from end to end. Enjoy as you would regular garlic.

lettuce mix – you know the drill! Store in the fridge.

white turnips – wondering what to do with those turnips? See below, or check out this recipe round up - 18 recipes!

(If you aren’t going to eat them right away and want them to last in your fridge, we suggest cutting the greens off and storing them separately. They can leach moisture from the roots. Store in a plastic bag in the fridge)

kale – massage your kale! Especially if you're eating it in a salad, raw. Note that kale freezes really well, so you can save it for later for soups or smoothies.

bok choy – a featured ingredient in a number of asian-inspired soups and stir fries. Trim off the base and chop up the rest to be used in all kinds of recipes.

(store in the fridge in a bag)

peas – so fresh and crisp, you probably don't need any recipes for them, as they're perfection raw, but we've included some below. Eat the whole pea, pod and all, after removing the stem.

scallions – we love eating these in scallion pancakes, check out the recipe below.
