Italian Black Summer Truffles
Black summer truffles are more subtle than the winter variety. Shave truffle over cooked potatoes, toss with herbs and a shallot vinaigrette. Thinly shave truffle over scrambled eggs.
Iceberg Lettuce
It is the only lettuce type that does not occur in red form as well as green. Iceberg is the given name to dozens of cultivars of lettuce, all of which are adapted to specific planting regions and time periods.
Seasons/Availability
Baby White eggplants are available in the summer season.
Geography/History
The male eggplant has a smooth round blossom end or base that produces a small round dot while the female's blossom end has a larger oval scar and is usually indented. Heirloom male eggplants have smaller seeds and are favored for this reason. The more mature the eggplant, the larger the seeds. Today's varieties, however, whether male or female, have been bred to contain smaller and fewer seeds.
