There is quite an assortment this week!
We have three types of cucumbers, two types of green beans, and two types of carrots. I love all the colors that make looking at them fun and aesthetically pleasing, and they all taste great to boot!
There are two types of zucchini – costata romanesco (striped) and raven (deep solid green). There are three types of summer squash - traditional yellow crookneck which is a saffron, the yellow and green tipped is a zephyr, and a pale green oblong summer squash called cousa magda ( a Lebonese zucchini) . Finally, there are also three colors of turnips - red globe, white and purple topped.
