Trending Spring Produce
Spring produce becomes a kitchen mainstay while it’s in season.
Asparagus
Asparagus is rich in fiber and folate and offers a mild, balanced flavor. It’s best enjoyed lightly cooked or raw, thinly sliced. With the Vegetable Cutter, you can easily create delicate asparagus slices for salads or as a base for simple spring dishes.
Tip: Store fresh asparagus like flowers—standing upright in a glass with a little water in the refrigerator. This helps it stay fresh longer and retain its crispness.
Green Garlic
Green garlic and garlic scapes, the younger and milder varieties of fresh garlic, are milder than dried garlic and contains natural flavor compounds that add character without overpowering a dish. Thinly slice the cloves or shred the green shoots with the Vegetable Cutter and use them in salads, dressings, or lightly sautéed dishes.
Tip: Don’t discard the greens—blend them into a pesto or use them as a flavorful topping.
Radishes
Radishes are crisp, low in calories, and rich in vitamin C. They’re especially good raw and thinly sliced, preferably chilled for extra freshness. The Vegetable Cutter ensures even slices for salads and simple sides.
Tip: Soak radishes in cold water for a short time before serving to make them extra crisp and refreshing.
