Bitter Melon
The Bitter melon is long and slender, similar to the shape of a standard cucumber with a rough, warty edible skin and off-white translucent crisp and bitter flesh bearing flat white bitter seeds.
Baby Celery
Baby celery is hydroponically grown, with long, thin stalks and mature, full leaves. Similar in size to cilantro or parsley, baby celery has an intense celery flavor that is much stronger than that mature celery heads.
Grower
Cremini mushrooms are available year round.
Cremini and Portabella mushrooms are the same strain. After planting, the Cremini mushroom will be ready for harvest in about 40 days. If left to grow just 5 days longer it will turn into a 3 1/2" to 4" Portabella cap. Cremini mushrooms are also known as Crimini, brown capped, classic brown mushrooms, Roman, baby bellas or golden Italian.
Usually a little larger in size with a light brown cap, the Cremini mushroom resembles its relative, the domestic common White mushroom, but is actually a small Portobello. The Cremini has an earthy, meaty texture and mild flavor.
Mushrooms provide protein, fiber, a substantial amount of vitamin B, vitamin D, vitamin K, copper and other minerals.
Cremini mushrooms can hold up to high heat such as baking, roasting or stewing. Cremini may be stuffed whole, added to sauces and soups or simply prepared. May also be prepared raw in salads. The stems are completely edible; pair with red wine, stock, mozzarella cheese, tomato-based sauces, fresh herbs and beef.
French horticulturists were the first to cultivate Cremini mushrooms in the 1700s. England and Sweden began mushroom cultivation in the late 18th century and it wasn't until the early 1900s that mushroom production began in the United States. Today, the United States is one of the leading growers of cultivated mushrooms with Pennsylvania being the fungi-growing industry leader. In the 1960's the cremini was the only cultivated mushroom widely available.
