Garlic Flowers
Garlic flowers are essentially the flowering seeds of a garlic plant. They emerge at the tip of the garlic's above-ground stem. The seeds appear once the garlic has reached maturity or if the plant begins to bolt early
Wasabi
Wasabi is a perennial and a member of the Cruciferae family. It is grown mainly for its underground rhizome (tuber) which produces branch-less, edible leaves above ground. A mature wasabi root is firm, cylindrical, brown and green-skinned and tapered.
Grower
Available year round, California produces summer and winter red raspberry crops. Supplies are also shipped from New Zealand and Central and South America during winter months.
More than two hundred species of raspberries are grown in the world. Usually Red, Black and Yellow-Gold sorts are sometimes encountered. Related to the blackberry, most cultivated Red raspberries are the result of a cross between the Eurasian species and the American native R. strigosus.
Plump, hollow and bright red, the raspberry offers an intense, sweet-tart flavor. The distinguishing difference between the raspberry and the blackberry, and other trailing dewberries in the Rubus genus is the hollow core that is created in the raspberry when separated from its receptacle.
One cup of raspberries provides 45 percent of the RDA of vitamin C, contains about 45 calories, 9 grams of fiber and is sodium-free.
Raspberries are most commonly used in sweet preparations, desserts and baked goods. Add raspberries to yogurt cake batter or pound cake batter. Combine with blueberries and blackberries, top with cobbler dough and bake. Puree with sugar, black tea and cream, strain and freeze into sorbet. Toss raspberries with peach slices and sugar, then top with a mixture of butter, sugar and oats and bake into a crisp. Puree and whisk into a versatile vinaigrette. Infuse light spirits and muddle into cocktails. Fresh raspberries are perishable and should be kept very dry and refrigerated until ready to use.
In Yorkshire, England, raspberry vinegar was once served with Yorkshire pudding, before the meat. Mountain folk of Appalachia commonly harvest this berry for their preserves, wines and liqueurs.
Prized over two thousand years ago, sources say Ancient Greeks were the first to cultivate the raspberry. Growing in many soil types, raspberries do prefer an open and sunny area, well-drained acidic soil and adequate moisture. Raspberry plants have perennial roots with shoots, referred to as canes, that are biennial. November through March, raspberries are grown in hoop houses to protect them from colder weather.
