CHINESE CABBAGE / WOMBOK / NAPA CABBAGE

Napa cabbage is high in folic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin B, vitamin K, and antioxidants. It’s also low in calories and high in fibre. Napa cabbage is versatile; it’s great for stir-fries or stews meaning it can be cooked a little or a lot. You can also use it raw in a salad.

It’s slightly sweet in flavour and will soak up the taste of whatever ingredients are used to prepare it. It’s popular in many types of Asian cuisine such as Chinese and Korean dishes e.g. hot pot and kimchi. You can also swap out regular green cabbage with napa cabbage in many recipes such as soups, stuffed cabbage rolls, and more.

Samphire AKA Sea Beans/Asparagus/Pickles, Pickleweed

Samphire has started to become a popular and trendy garnish in restaurants and in home cooking, although it makes a good ingredient to dishes too.

The plant traditionally grows along the coast in the United Kingdom, although popularity in the United States is growing. Commonly the plant is picked, and when cooked it tends to have a fishy and salty taste.

Armenian Cucumbers

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Gee, I wish there was a type of cucumber that was really long, burpless, a good keeper, and could stand up to blistering heat”?

Perhaps you never made that particular wish, but I’m going to bet you’ll agree it’s a great idea. The answer (to the wish you never made) is here – Armenian cucumbers.

Armenian cucumbers aren’t true cucumbers like other varieties cultivated from the Cucumis sativus species. They are actually melons, cultivars of C. melo, just like honeydew and cantaloupe – but they taste and look like cucumbers.

Crosnes and Peas

Your hardest task will be to find crosnes. Large farmers markets will have them in fall and winter, as will specialty markets. Probably easier would be to buy crosnes online. If anyone can located a reliable source for the tubers (for growing), please let me know in the comments section. I like a little drizzle of Oregon White Truffle Oil on this dish, but you could use another truffle oil or just leave it out. I like it because it gives the dish an earthy, luxurious base note underneath the crunch of the crosnes and the brightness of the lemon and parsley.

Romanesco

This is probably one of the most interesting looking vegetables, with its intricate spiral patterns made up of many buds alternating in size. It originates from Italy and can also be called Romanesco Broccoli or Roman Cauliflower. It is part of the same edible flower family (Brassicas) as Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts and Cabbage.

It can be prepared for recipes in the same way as Broccoli and Cauliflower, but will give a more distinct, earthy, nutty and mildly sweet flavour.

India Black Carrot

Like eggplant, there’s nothing unusual with our favorite carrots, until you see the India black variety. But did you know the first known cultivated carrots were originally black or a deep shade of purple? It was only later that the orange carrots were more widely cultivated. Grow carrots in your vegetable garden and try this variety for a change.

Yardlong bean

Also called the Chinese long bean these are pretty light on vitamins and minerals but do contain the phytochemical known as quercetin

Arcadia Broccoli

The first type of broccoli that we will talk about is Arcadia broccoli. It takes around two months for this type of broccoli to mature and become ready for consumption. The color of the Arcadia broccoli is purplish green and it has small and uniform heads. This type of broccoli is perfect for the winter seasons as it is resistant to cold weather.
