Wild Produce Sampler
1 Sampler (approx. 2lbs)

Out of Season

(Prices Incl S&H)
The Wild Produce Sampler allows you to try three of our wild vegetables in a single order.
 
Each sampler contains these three items:
Lady Fiddlehead Ferns – 1 lb
Stinging Nettles – ½ lb
Miner’s Lettuce – ½ lb
 
Applications: Fiddlehead ferns have a delicious green-veggie flavor, tasting something like a cross between an artichoke and asparagus. They’re great steamed or sautéed, and are delicious paired with wild mushrooms. For an easy but exciting condiment, whisk a little lemon juice into mayonnaise (to make it extra special, use this homemade mayonnaise recipe) for a zesty, creamy sauce.
 
Miner’s Lettuce delicious wild salad green that tastes something like a lighter version of spinach. It pairs extremely well with vinaigrette dressings (how to make vinaigrette). For an example salad, check out this miner’s lettuce salad recipe pairing it with pine nuts, cranberries and Maytag blue cheese.
 
Stinging nettles have a spinach/mint/green flavor. They are consumed in some parts of Europe (particularly Scotland) in soup, and are part of the culinary traditions of parts of Asia as well as Sweden and some Native American tribes. They should be blanched first for a few minutes to remove the stinging agent, but can then be steamed, sautéed, or otherwise cooked as your dish requires. They are great in ravioli filling, and can be steeped in hot water to make a highly nutritious tea.
 
Origin: The Pacific Northwest
 
Specifications: Each order is for 2lbs of wild produce.
 
Shipping: Fedex Overnight
 
WARNING: Do not handle raw stinging nettles with your bare hands. Use gloves. After nettles are cooked, the stinging agent is dissolved and they are safe to handle and eat.
