Eating local is beneficial for many reasons: it is fresher and healthier, it allows us to support our local economy, it keeps us in touch with the seasons, etc. Most importantly, local food just plain tastes better! To eat a fruit or vegetable that has been picked at the height of its ripeness for fantastic flavoring and then delivered to you is a much different experience than buying produce that is weeks old in a grocery store.
This week, as the farmers are gearing up for Fall, Yum Runnerz has local produce available from Fredericksburg and Lavaca County.We have Louisiana shallots ready for order. For those of you who don’t like onions, this is milder and perfect for adding flavor to a bland meal.
If you are looking to spice up your dishes, we have orange and yellow banana peppers, as well as Serrano, jalapeno and bell peppers.
Zucchini, yellow squash, and large pickling cucumbers are also ready for purchasing literally from the farm to your table! All you fancy foodies will loooove the squash blossoms we have. They are perfect for decorating any meal by stuffing the blossom and frying it.
Last night, I used the fresh yellow squash and zucchini, pictured, to make a delicious soup. As the weather is transitioning into Fall, the colors and taste made it a perfect seasonal dinner dish.
