In Season

I thought I'd post a little list of a few veggies and fruits that are In Season right now for spring to make your trips to the store a little easier. Look for a few recipes and have fun!
Artichokes
Buying Tips: Buy artichokes that have a tight leaf formation, a deep green color and are heavy for their size. The rounder the artichoke, the bigger the tender heart. Avoid artichokes that are drying, wilting or moldy.
Asparagus
Buying tips: The tenderest stalks are apple green with purple tips. Choose firm, bright green stalks with tight tips.
Blueberries
Buying tips: Choose blueberries that are firm, uniform in size and indigo blue with a silvery tin
Strawberries
Buying tips: Choose brightly colored, plump berries that still have their green caps and are uniform in size.
Rhubarb
Buying tips: Choose crisp stalks that are brightly colored. If the leaves are attached, they should be fresh-looking and blemish free.
Carrots
Buying Tips: The best carrots are young, slender, firm and smooth. Avoid carrots with cracks or any that are soft of withered. If buying with the greens, make sure the leaves are moist and green.
