Watermelon Radish It looks like a large, pale green turnip on the outside. But cut this watermelon radish open and you'll understand the reason for its name. The flesh glows fuchsia and is rimmed with a thin band of white and tinged with green on the outer edges. The visual characteristics become more striking when you splash thin slices with vinegar ― which intensifies the color ― and sprinkle them with black sesame seeds. Watermelon radish adds crunch and mild flavor to salads and sandwiches, delicious pickled too!

French Breakfast Radish Crostini Simple, elegant, and perfect for summer snacking! French Breakfast Radishes and butter have been a beloved combination since their early days in European produce markets. Elevate this classic pairing with fresh herbs, whipped butter, crispy crostini, and a sprinkle of flaky salt (we prefer Maldon salt ). Perfect as a passed appetizer or a small bite on any summer menu!

Baby Frisée A member of the chicory family, frisée has delicately slender, curly leaves that range in color from darker outer green leaves to a deli-cate light yellow core. This feathery vegetable has a mildly bitter flavor and is often used to add flavor, color, and texture to special-ty salad blends.

Beets Colorful beets are not only widely popular for their earthy flavor but also their nutritional value; beets are loaded with nutrients and phytochemicals. They’ve also been featured on all the popular cooking shows, food blogs, gourmet magazines, farmers markets, and at fine dining restaurants. Beets are often paired with creamy sharp cheeses, balsamic reductions, prepared roasted, grilled, pickled or served raw. Babé Farms beets are packed fresh from our fields in Santa Maria, CA. Beets are versatile and very easy to prepare, you can either roast or boil the beets to remove the skin. We prefer to boil the beets until they’re fork tender. Blanch in ice water to cool, then simply slip the thin outer layer of skin right off the beet! Once the skins are removed you can dice and marinate in a tangy vinaigrette.

Baby Squash and Baby Leek Pizza This pizza features a combination of Babé Farms baby summer squash and baby leeks paired with mozzarella and a garlic cream sauce. A special shoutout to Marcos Buenrrostro of Mexiforno in Guadalupe, CA. Marcos not only donated his time for this video but generously offered to feed our squash harvest crew as well.
