We hope you've been faring well despite the recent freeze and excess rains!

Vendor of the Month: Chai's Kitchen

How about a taste of Singapore right here in Texas? Chai’s Kitchen offers up Singaporean flavors in her jams, spice mixes, sambal, almond brittle, and Chinese pickles. We absolutely love her turmeric jam and highly recommend picking up a jar sooner rather than later! Make sure to peruse all that she has to offer at the market this month.

Crop of the Month: Kohlrabi

Kohlrabi is back in season at the Farm Stand! The round bulbous end of kohlrabi is actually a swollen meristem rather than a root. Both the stem and the leaves of kohlrabi are edible and can be eaten raw or cooked. To use the stem, simply cut or peel away the tough outer skin. The leaves can be used just like kale or collard greens.  Here are a few recipes to lend some culinary inspiration: 

• Kohlrabi and Tatsoi Stir-Fry with Ginger Rice

• Kohlrabi Slaw with Cilantro, Jalapeno, & Lime

• Kohlrabi Fritters

• Roasted Kohlrabi with Lemon Shallot Vinaigrette
