V.I. Locally Grown

This leaf vegetable is from the cruciferous family. With it’s yummy, peppery taste, it’s great in salads or on sandwiches. Along with the cancer-fighting antioxidants, it’s also rich in Vitamins A & C, folic acid, calcium, manganese and magnesium, as well as being a good source of potassium, iron, zinc, riboflavin and copper. Wow! No wonder they call it “rocket”! The oxalates in arugula are very low and should not interfere with calcium absorption.

A popular perennial green consumed in Mexico and Central America, chaya's leaves and thick, tender stem tips are cut and boiled as spinach. It is very high in protein, Calcium, Iron and Vitamin A. Raw chaya leaves are toxic as they contain a glucoside that can release toxic cyanide. Cooking for 10 minutes or more will render the leaves safe to eat. Discard the water and toss with oil or butter. Try it with eggs too.

This standard basil is delicious in salads, pesto, soups and tea. Cut the soft stems and store in a glass with enough water to just cover the bottom. Keep it handy in the prep area of your kitchen (not in the sun) and it should stay fresher…who knows…it may even grow roots!

Green papaya the immature fruits of the papaya can be used grated for slaws as well as for candies and jams. It's a wonderful Asian themed salad ingredient. Refreshing and zesty flavor. Baked, boiled and sauteed it performs much like summer squash. It's mild flavor allows it to take on the seasonings of the dish. A great addition to vegetable soups. Another useful property of green papaya is that it is a potent meat tenderizer. Marinate the tough cut with the grated pulp for a couple hours (not too long as the effects can be dramatic) along with your herbs and spices.

Green Papaya can be used exactly the same way you would a summer squash. Peel it, rinse off the milky *papain then slice in 1 inch rounds (or cube)and steam or saute in coconut oil. You can also shred it and add it raw to salad or stir fry! I use the seeds, after squeezing them out from their gelatinous casings just like black pepper! Papaya has antibiotic qualities and is good for the digestion. *Supposedly, Consuming 1 T Papain, combined with 1 T Honey and 3-4 T Hot Water will get rid of intestinal worms!

The pods are extremely nutritious, containing all the essential amino acids along with many vitamins and other nutrients. The mature pods are usually fried and possess a peanut-like flavor. Moringa pods can be cooked in a variety of ways. Until they become too woody to snap, they can be cooked much like green beans. To cook, boil whole pods, after soft, peel outer layer and scrap out insides to add to your dish. Cook pods as in Pea Soup receipe. Add fleshy part of pods to lentil soup.
