Pick of the Week: Muscadines!We’re sad that peaches and other stone fruits are just about out the door, but we’re reminded of the pleasure that each new season brings in witnessing the crops that pop in and out as they change. One fruit we’re very excited to see showing up at market are muscadine grapes! These unique grapes are native to the Southeastern states, and are distinct from other grapes in a few ways. Most notably, they have a much thicker skin from normal grapes, which can give them close to ten times the antioxidant power of other grapes. They’re delicious too. From jelly and jams, to pies and wine, there are so many things to do with muscadines. Be sure to pick some up from Indian Springs who should have them for the next couple weeks at our Tuesday and Saturday markets! |
Tuesday’s Green Plate SpecialWe’re very pleased to welcome Seed as our Green Plate Special vendors for the month of September! Seed is a newly opened restaurant in the Lower Garden District focused on vegetarian and vegan cuisine and on growing a fresh and sustainable dining experience grounded in New Orleans taste. They’re open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week, and were recently voted the best Vegetarian/Vegan menu by Gambit’s Best of New Orleans 2014! We’re excited to see what dishes they’ll be bringing to market. We’re certain it’ll be a treat for vegetarians and omnivores alike. Come hungry! |

Recipe of the WeekA couple things that aren’t scarce at market during the summer are eggplant and shrimp. Ever thought of bringing the two together? How, you ask? Try this delicious Shrimp-Stuffed Creole Eggplant recipe. We’re certain it’ll do the trick. |
