It’s what’s for dinner …

April 12, 2015October 7, 2018in Around the Farm

 

IMG_0095IMG_0093IMG_0090IMG_0089We’ve been reading a lot about eating healthier lately, and one thing that continually comes up in various blogs, articles, books, etc. is the benefits of tumeric or ‘olena as it is known in Hawaii.  It is a member of the ginger family and looks basically like a yellow/orange colored ginger.  A few months ago, David harvested a bunch of it.  We dried it and then ground it into a powder.  I put it in everything I cook from stir fries to eggs to smoothies.  Today, he harvested a bunch more, half of which will go to replanting a different section of our farm, and half we’ll use for cooking.  In addition to the ‘olena, we harvested rainbow chard, mustard cabbage, kale, two different varieties of radishes, a few oranges, a couple eggs, a grapefruit, some bananas, surinam cherries, and kalo.  The morning flew by, it was a little muggy this morning, but we had a light rain which cooled us off a bit.  Now time to start thinking about what I’m going to be making with all this stuff because it’s what’s for dinner.
