On behalf of all of our Members, this week we're making a donation to the Hell's Kitchen Farm Project, an urban rooftop farm growing for nutritional security. All of the food grown on the rooftop supports the Hell's Kitchen Community through a local food pantry and CSA program.
In 2010, four organizations, embedded in the neighborhood - Clinton Housing Development Company, Metro Baptist Church, Rauschenbush Metro Ministries, and Metropolitan Community Church decided to address this issue. The organizations drew upon their varied but crucial resources to produce what they called The Hell's Kitchen Farm Project.
Dianthus is a parent category for about 300 perennial sub (or dwarf) shrubs. This variety produces glossy stems and leaves which bloom rich, ruby-red flowers. They have a spicy, clover-like zest to them which complement pumpkin or ginger desserts, curries or glazed hams.
This mellow-flavored micro mizuna produces dark red shades that taper out from the stem, adding pizzazz to a dish. Due to its aggressive growth rate, it can be harvested either as a fine garnish or baby-green stand-in. It pairs well with robust pork dishes such as smoked briskets and glazed hams, or in garlic-braised sautees.
Micro cabbage has a mild but sweet flavor. This Japanese version of the Chinese cabbage grows green, serrated leaves. It is a prized microgreen for its versatility and contains a particularly high concentration of Vitamin C.
