Arugula – This leafy green has a peppery, slightly bitter flavor and is commonly used in salads, sandwiches, and as a garnish. It is low in calories and packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and antioxidants, which support eye health, immune function, and bone strength. Arugula can be eaten fresh or lightly wilted in pasta dishes and pizzas. Some prefer to eat it tossed with other fresh greens or lettuce so that the spicy taste is not as strong. Putting it on a sandwich is another delicious way to enjoy its distinct flavor. Here is a collection of recipes for any taste 19 Ways to Eat Arugula. Store wrapped in a paper towel inside a loosely sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper drawer. Properly stored, arugula can stay fresh for up to 3-5 days. For best quality, use arugula soon after purchasing.
Beets, Red – Red beets are root vegetables known for their earthy flavor and vibrant red-purple color. They are rich in nutrients like folate, manganese, potassium, and dietary fiber, as well as antioxidants such as betalains, which help reduce inflammation and support heart health. Both the roots and greens are edible, with the greens offering additional nutrients like vitamins A and C. Beets can be eaten raw in salads, roasted, boiled, or blended into smoothies and soups. Store beet greens separately from the root, wrapped in a damp cloth or in a plastic bag in the fridge. Use within a few days – they don’t keep long. Beet roots can be stored in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer of the fridge for up to two weeks. To freeze beets for longer storage, slice or chop them, spread on a cookie sheet to flash freeze, then transfer to freezer bags where they can be stored for up to a year. Looking for ways to prepare beets? This post will show you 25 Beet Recipes including beet hummus, a summery borscht, and even a beautifully colored pasta primavera.
Cabbage, Chinese/Napa – Chinese or Napa cabbage is a pale green, oblong-shaped cabbage with crisp, tender leaves and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is low in calories and rich in vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants, which support immune health, bone strength, and digestion. This cabbage can be eaten raw in salads or as a wrap for fillings. It can also be cooked any way you would use traditional cabbage. Napa cabbage tastes excellent in Asian-inspired dishes. It is commonly used in stir-fries, soups, and as the main ingredient in kimchi. Store Napa cabbage in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped, where it can stay fresh for up to two weeks. Stir-fried Chinese Cabbage Recipe is a quick and easy recipe to get you started.
Eggplant, mixed varieties – Eggplant can be left unrefrigerated at a cool room temperature for a day or two or in the crisper drawer for one week but it tastes best when used soon after picking. Eggplant can be peeled or unpeeled depending on the type of dish you are preparing. Just like a zucchini doesn’t have much flavor on its own so it’s often paired with other veggies in a dish, so, too, the eggplant is often paired with other stronger flavors. It can be sauteed, baked, fried, grilled, or steamed. You can freeze eggplant when it is cooked in a dish like ratatouille or baba ganoush, Enjoy the classic eggplant parmesan or pick from these 8 simple ways to cook eggplant.
Eggplant, Japanese – Slender varieties of many color variations of purple and white. Lends well to sliced circles.
Eggplant, Purple Globe – Italian globe variety lends itself to stuffing, slicing, cubing, and roasting.
Salting & Draining Eggplant – It’s a good idea, if time allows, to salt the sliced or chopped eggplant and soak in water for about 15 minutes and then gently drain and squeeze to get rid of acrid flavors, according to From Asparagus to Zucchini cookbook.
Fennel Bulb – Fennel is a member of the carrot family and is known for its sweet, anise-like flavor. Fennel is rich in vitamin C, potassium, and manganese. The bulbs can be thinly sliced and added to salads, sautéed, roasted, or grilled. The stalks can be used in soups and stews, and the fronds can be used as an herb-like garnish. Store fennel bulbs in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer, where they can keep fresh for up to a week. If the fronds are still attached, trim them and store separately wrapped in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag. For longer storage, fennel bulbs can be blanched and frozen.
Garlic – should be kept in a cool, dry place. All our garlic is now cured so it can be stored in a cool, dark, dry place for several months. Use in any recipe and add peeled cloves to pickles.
Kale, Red Russian – This variety of kale has tender, flat, slightly fringed leaves with a reddish-purple hue and a mild, sweet flavor. It is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, plus calcium, potassium, and antioxidants, which promote bone health, immunity, and heart health. Red Russian kale can be eaten raw in salads, sautéed, blended into smoothies, or added to soups and stews. This would be delicious used in the winter in a potato soup or vegetable stir fry. I love it sauteed with garlic and olive oil until bright green and tender. Store kale in the refrigerator, wrapped in a damp paper towel, and placed in a plastic bag. Stored properly, it can stay fresh for up to a week. To freeze, wash and chop into small pieces and place in a freezer bag.
Microgreens – Transfer to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag lined with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Store the container or bag in the refrigerator’s vegetable crisper drawer, where the microgreens can stay fresh for about 5 to 7 days.
Mushroom, Portobello & Cremini – These two mushrooms are the same variety but are harvested at different sizes. Store in a paper bag and refrigerate in the main section of the fridge with a dry paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Alternatively, mushrooms can be briefly sautéed or blanched before freezing to extend their shelf life for up to 3 months.
Mushrooms, Oyster – These can be sautéed, grilled, roasted, or added to soups, stews, and stir-fries. Use in pasta dishes, risotto, or as a topping for pizzas. Store in a paper bag in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to a week.
Mushrooms, Shiitake – Add them to stir-fries, risottos, and soups, or use as a filling for tacos. They are also great for Asian-inspired noodle dishes or as a base for stuffed mushrooms. Enjoy their earthy flavor and meaty texture in these and other creative recipes. Store shiitake mushrooms in a paper bag or a loosely wrapped plastic bag in the refrigerator.
Mushrooms, Lion’s Mane – can be sautéed, grilled, or roasted and are excellent in soups, stews, and stir-fries. Their texture makes them a great meat substitute in vegetarian and vegan recipes. Store in a paper bag in the refrigerator to prevent moisture buildup and keep fresh for up to a week.
Onions, Sweet Yellow – Sweet yellow onions are known for their mild, sweet flavor and yellowish-brown skin. Their high sugar content makes them ideal for caramelizing and cooking, as they become sweeter when cooked. Pair them with green (or yellow) beans to make Green Beans and Caramelized Onions. They are a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants like quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Usage: Sweet yellow onions are versatile in the kitchen and can be used raw in salads and sandwiches or cooked in soups, stews, and casseroles. They are especially popular in dishes that require a subtle onion flavor without overwhelming heat, such as French onion soup and onion rings. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight for up to a month. Avoid refrigerating them, as this can cause them to spoil faster.
Parsley – Parsley is a popular herb with bright green leaves and a fresh, slightly peppery flavor. It is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with folate and antioxidants, which support immune health, bone health, and digestion. Parsley is used as both a garnish and a key ingredient in various dishes. It is commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, adding flavor to salads, soups, sauces, and marinades. Store as you would any herb; in a glass with some water on the counter. Keep for several days. For longer storage, parsley can be chopped and frozen in airtight containers or ice cube trays.
Peppers – A popular and versatile vegetable that comes in various colors, including green, red, yellow, orange, and even purple. They belong to the nightshade family and have a mildly sweet flavor and crisp texture. Peppers are low in calories and fat but rich in vitamins and minerals. They are particularly high in vitamin C, providing more than 100% of the recommended daily intake per serving. Peppers also contain vitamin A, vitamin B6, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, such as carotenoids and flavonoids, that contribute to their vibrant colors and potential health benefits.
From L to R: Hungarian wax, jalapeño, cayenne, and sweet colored bell peppers.
Storage for all peppers: Keep them dry and refrigerated in a perforated plastic bag for up to one to two weeks. Avoid storing them with fruits or vegetables that emit ethylene gas, as this can cause them to spoil faster.
IMPORTANT: USE GLOVES! Be cautious when handling hot peppers (at least if you are handling more than a few at a time or are sensitive), as their seeds and membranes contain the most capsaicin and can intensify the heat. Remove these parts if you prefer a milder flavor or keep them for a spicier kick.
Peppers, Cayenne – Cayenne peppers are long, thin, and vibrant red chili peppers known for their intense heat and spicy flavor. Rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and capsaicin (which provides the heat), cayenne peppers are commonly used to add spice to dishes. Usage: They can be used fresh, dried, or ground into cayenne powder for seasoning everything from sauces and soups to meat and vegetable dishes. Special Storage: Dry cayenne peppers to preserve for longer periods. Ground cayenne pepper should be kept in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency.
Heat Index: Cayenne peppers typically range from 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) on the Scoville scale. This puts them in the mid-range of hot peppers, significantly spicier than jalapeños (2,500-8,000 SHU) but milder than habaneros (100,000-350,000 SHU).
Peppers, Green Bell – Green peppers pack the most nutritious punch when eaten raw. Try on salads, sandwiches, or with a favorite dip. Cooked, green pepper can be used in soups, chili, casseroles, egg dishes, or stir-fries. Can be sliced, diced and frozen for later cooked dishes.
Usage: Peppers can be used raw in salads or as a crunchy snack, and they are excellent for stir-fries, sautés, soups, stuffed dishes, or grilled kebabs, adding flavor and nutrition to various meals. Their different colors can also add an appealing visual touch to your dishes. Try Black Bean & Corn Salad, or Stuffed Tomatoes or Peppers.
Peppers, Jalapeño – A popular variety of chili peppers with a distinctive bright green or red color when fully ripe. They are low in calories and fat and provide vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber. They also contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their spiciness, which is known for its potential health benefits, such as pain relief and metabolism-boosting properties.
Usage: Jalapeño peppers are commonly used raw in salsas and guacamole and as a topping for tacos, nachos, pizza, and other dishes. When cooked, jalapeños add a bold kick to soups, stews, sauces, and stir-fries.

Store yellow potatoes in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place for several weeks, avoiding refrigeration as it can alter their texture and flavor.
Radish – The roots keep well for up to two weeks in a plastic bag in the fridge. Remove leaves if they are still attached. Store the unwashed greens in a loosely wrapped Debbie Meyer plastic green bag in the crisper bin of your refrigerator and eat them ASAP. Store the radish roots dry and unwashed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for 1 week. This root vegetable can be eaten raw or steamed for 8-12 minutes for a milder taste. They’re also good on the veggie tray with some dip. Use the greens in Radish Leaf Pesto. Try Roasted Radishes with Chive Vinaigrette or Arugula, Avocado, and Radish Salad with Poached Egg.

Shallots – Shallots are a type of small, elongated onion with a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a hint of garlic.

Focus on Nutrition for Budget Wisdom
After years of feeding 9 – 20 people every day, I’ve learned a few things about making nutritious meals that go the distance and keep everyone happy. As you connect with me, more you’ll learn why I recommend these foods.
- organic fresh seasonal vegetables
- fermented vegetables
- organic eggs from pastured chickens
- sourdough bread made with organic wheat (no sprays!)
- raw, grass fed milk and organic yogurt made from grass fed milk
I’m sharing the deep reasons why these foods are essential and what we can learn from traditional wisdom in a new public Facebook Group. Join me to learn more!
Traditional wisdom belongs to us all so let’s make sure it doesn’t get forgotten.
The group description attempts to capture this: A community for sharing insights into what makes a healthy lifestyle sustainable for the long term. Share what you’ve learned and pass on the knowledge and traditions that have been passed on to you. You don’t need to have a farm or even land to live a sustainable life. Farmer Reuben encourages everyone to GROW one thing or PRODUCE one thing – especially if you can share with someone else.
