Sugar Snap Peas
From: Migliorelli Farm (Integrated Pest Management in Red Hook, NY)
Sugar snap peas are all about texture, sweetness, and crunch. They don’t take long to cook—1 to 2 minutes max. Resist overcooking—you’ll end up with sad, limp peas. Cut your snaps in thirds crosswise, or halve lengthwise on a long diagonal. Cut them before or after steaming. If boiling, cut them afterwards or else the tumbling action of boiling water will free the peas from their pods. Enjoy raw for a snack. More info

Bunched Green Onions
From: Barber Farm (Organically Grown in Middleburgh, NY)
Spring onions have long, green, delicate stalks with golf-sized onion bulbs. Spring onions are sweeter and mellower than regular onions, but the greens have a more flavor than scallion greens. Like scallions, spring onions can be used raw or cooked. Because raw spring onions are pungent, taste to make sure their flavor does not overpower more delicate flavors. You can slice raw spring onions thinly onto green salads.
