Share Notes

Beets, Touchstone Gold: Smooth golden roots with bright yellow flesh retain their color when cooked. Excellent, sweet flavor.

Celeriac: The big, bulbous celeriac in your share this week were harvested after our first frost of the season. As a result they have a delicious sweetness to share, but may show signs of cold damage to their tops. Just cut off the top as usual and peel for using your favorite way.
