Looking at the weather today, it is hard to imagine that we can still eat foods that are “in season”. Right now, during the season of winter, winter vegetables (ok, late fall vegetables) are in season. It is easy to find squash, Brussels sprouts, turnips, and other root vegetables at the grocery store. While we search for answers to callers questions we often find great publications from other Extension services. Nebraska Extension has a wonderful publication with some delicious recipes for winter vegetables. These recipes are for hearty and filling foods that are both delicious and nutritious. Enjoy!
Do you need to wash vegetables that come in bag that says ready to eat?
Hi Roberta, I think I’ve answered this question for you through an email, Ask an Expert site, and now here. No, you should not need to wash the vegetables.
