These artichokes are dangerous and beautiful.  The spikes are no joke, and neither is the flavor.  Limited supply.

Gorgeous Chive & Onion blossoms abound.  Jumbo White Asparagus is here, and you have choices: true French, and it’s somewhat less expensive cousin, Dutch.  Both by the 11# case, only.  California Asparagus is here as well, the “Delta Queen” label from Klein Family Farms in Stockton.  Any of these would be well-matched with our fresh weekly Duck Eggs from Hershberger Farm, up in Unity, Maine.

All kinds of pea tendrils: we have the larger ones, big enough for wilting but tender enough to eat raw, from Knoll Farm.   We also have the smaller local pea shoots, which look and taste best raw or barely wilted.  We still have stinging nettles, although they’re no longer from Knoll Farm, and the season will be ending on those soon.  Finger limes and black trumpet mushrooms are done for the season.  Fresh GA peas are back in stock, and ramps are in full swing.

Every now and then, we come across an ingredient that changes the way we cook.  It becomes an indispensable secret ingredient in our kitchens and homes.

Rhei Maid’s Gochujang adds chili heat and  the necessary edge to many dishes, even if they’re not  spicy dishes per se.  The deep, rich umami present in Rhei Maid’s Doenjang ads salt and funk in a way that salt alone cannot.  Sometimes these ingredients are featured as a main component of the dish, and sometimes we just use a little bit to lift all of the other flavors, add dimension, and make ingredients fully come alive.

Why Rhei Maid, rather than commercial products?

Family Pride.   These recipes have been lovingly passed down over generations since royal times.

Rising C Ranch heirloom citrus is at it’s peak,  and the newest additions to the lineup are Oroblancos, Bergamot and Seville Sour Oranges.

Equinox Mesclun greens are done until the spring, but County Line Mixed Heirloom Chicories are going strong.  Other greens of note include Red Little Gem Lettuce, Spigarello Kale, and full-sized Red Watercress. New England roots include Chantaney Carrots, Yellow Sun Carrots, Purple Dragon Carrots, Celery Root, Salsify, Macomber Turnips, baby Hakurei Turnips, Black and Watermelon Radishes, Green and Purple Daikon, & Organic Sunchokes.
