Witch Fingers Grapes
Witch Finger table grapes have elongated purple drupes. They look like small maroon chili peppers, tightly clustered together on bright green stems.
Wild Rice Shoots
The actual Wild Rice plant grows from 1.2 to 2.4 m in height and its leaves, when fully elongated, measure from 30 to 60 cm in length. The enlarged shoots are harvested, and the upper leaves cut off showing only the shoot with husk-like wrapper leaves.
Grower
Fresh Green Almonds are available during the spring months.
Fresh, green almonda produces a peach-like feel over green skin. A translucent, gelatinous substance surrounds the nut inside.
Trans-fat-free and cholesterol-free, fresh green almonds provide the same nutritional benefits as dry roasted almonds which include protein, dietary fiber, vitamin E, calcium, iron and a trace of vitamin C. One-fourth cup contains about 180 calories.
The young nut taste pairs well with compatible lemony flavors. A myriad of fish entrées and seafood specialties love its complementary accent. Serve with lobster, snapper, cod, shrimp, halibut, scallops, clam and oysters. To store, keep refrigerated up to three weeks.
A member of the peach family, which explains their fuzzy feel, green almonds are grown locally at Weiser Farms in California. Specializing in root vegetables, Weiser Farms has been growing premium vegetables since 1977. Ideal sandy soil for producing superior products, Weiser Farms' one hundred-twenty acres allows vital crop rotation resulting in top quality produce.
