We have fresh young ginger for you this week as well as lemongrass. Both “tropical” culinary herbs are super good for you with plenty of antioxidants. They also have anti-inflammatory benefits and are great for digestion and soothing to the stomach.

Young ginger should be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to two weeks. It is easy to freeze. Wash, break into manageable pieces and freeze. When you want to use it, just take a piece from the freezer and grate.

Lemongrass can also be kept in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. It is also easy to freeze. Use whole lemongrass stalks in stews and curries, and pound it first to release its flavor for best results. For the white root at the base of the stalk, mince as you would garlic and add to any dish including marinades, soups and stir-fries.

In addition to our on farm hours, you can find us at Historic Lewes Farmers Market (HLFM) located at the George H.P. Smith Park on Saturday from 8 to 12. In the event of inclement weather on Saturday, the HLFM will be located at the Lewes Elementary School parking lot at 820 Savannah Road.
