What an incredible day! An early morning visit to the veggie garden led to me emerging with 3 enormous head of broccoli, turnips, a beautifully white cauliflower and of course more radishes! For what its worth, broccoli and cauliflower are known as cruciferous vegetables.
These vegetables belong to the large Brassicaceae or mustard family and contain sulfur-containing glucosinolates that gives them a distinctive aroma and taste. They contain numerous nutrients including calcium, iron, folate, fiber, vitamin C, beta-carotene, potassium and selenium as well as cancer-fighting agents such as glucosinolates, phytochemicals and antioxidants. These nutritious wonder vegetables come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes and include leafy, root and big flower-shaped vegetables.
Now I’m in a bit of a pickle ....what do I do with this lot?! Pickle? Of course!PICKLE!!!
Back in the kitchen I’m frantically sterilising bottles, cutting turnips, slicing radishes and making pickling brine! The results are amazing....!
