What I Bought:
|

|
|
Snow
Peas, Peas, Fava Beans These are the
cheapest fava beans I've seen this spring. They won't
be around much longer. Time to load up on them, and
time for my once-a-year batch of Catalan-style fava
bean stew, which you'll find among these nine
fava bean recipes. It's the most labor-intensive
of the recipes, but well worth it, at least once a
year.
Price: $1/lb. fava beans
$5/lb. shelled peas
$2.50/lb snow peas

Beets,
Spring Onions, Tokyo Turnips
Price: $1/bunch for onions
$1.50/bunch for turnips and beets
|
|

|
|
Carrots
|
|

|
|
Dried
Garlic, Fresh Garlic
Price: $1/bunch for
fresh garlic
$.50/each for dried garlic
Basil,
Chinese Spinach Big bunches of
basil, for less than $2 a bundle, are arguably
the best bargain at summer time farmers
markets. In a grocery store, .you'd pay at
least twice the price for a third as much
basil.
Price: $1/bunch
Japanese
Eggplant, Carola Potatoes, Russian Fingerling
Potatoes, Zucchini
Price: $2/lb. for
potatoes and zucchini
$2.50/lb. for eggplant
Fuji
Apples
Price: $2/lb.
