Last week I was at the farmers market buying my organic veggies when I came across this seller named 5 lbs of Dirt. Have you heard of them?? They sell purely organic produce, although I’m not sure they’re certified organic but they don’t spray any chemicals whatsoever and they are truly a gem. Look for them at Union Square or 79th and Columbus on Sundays.
The two most incredible products that I’ve gotten from them were watermelon radish, which was so tasty and beautiful in color that I just wanted to scream! I also bought heirloom carrots, yep, you heard right, heirloom carrots! They were purple!!
Luckily I did manage to take some pictures of them. I made a carrot ginger soup that came out a purple/red color. You will find unbelievable freshness from these guys. They are friendly and are usually giving out samples of their delicious veggies. Please check them out – they might not have a sign out in front but their mode of transportation is a bus – you can’t miss them. You can find them on Facebook to see what they have in store for us this coming week at the market.
Cheers.
Heirloom carrots! The uglier they are, the more tasty they will be!
- Watermelon Radish – so beautiful!
