White Corn
White corn is a sweet corn variety. Its ears are wrapped in tightly layered pale lime green to white husks. One ear of corn can contain up to 400 kernels growing in rows lengthwise.
Spring Onions
Spring onions are most often utilized raw. The whole onion can be flash blanched and grilled, which brings out more the robust and sweet elements of the onions, and makes them a bolder pair for fish and meats
Seasons/Availability
Emu eggs are only available seasonally, generally December through May. The female emu will lay one egg every 3-4 days during this season.
Description/Taste
Emu eggs are very large (roughly 5 inches long and 3 inches wide) with a thick dark green shell. They weigh anywhere from 1 to 2 pounds and contain the equivalent of nearly 1 dozen chicken eggs. The emu's diet lends to generous orange yolks and thick whites. The ratio of whites to yolks is 55% to 45 % compared to a chicken egg which is 65% white and 35% yolk.
