strawberries are all over the Green Market!! w/o even tasting just look at the difference between the organic ones and the inorganic--the organic look like the rarer French fraise!!--do you know that strawberry is a great absorber(sp?) and it hold all those pesticides etc very very well--so buy organic strawberries or dont care!! also according to Andrew Weil next to strawberry is bell pepper and cantalope w/ major pesticide levels--most cantalopes come from the big mexican farms mass produced and very untasty (to me) and full of....eat less / eat better!!
i bought some organic rubbarb to make a salsa for crab cakes and also tuna cakes from the Market....
Nice. This kind of info is what I'm looking for (however much that matters.) I'll just throw some random ideas out
Maybe you could give more instructions as to the green market (I assume you're talking Union Square.) Seems like you regulars (Rachael and Diti and you at least) have favorite providers for different kinds of food (and they are at the market only on certain days.) Clue us in. Who's got the best strawberries. When should I go and which side are they located on. Also, let's try and get some pictures up of the market. It really is amazing. I think it has totally changed eating habits here in the city (well, probably it's more like the market became popular because those eating habits were changing, but either way the market is at the heart of food culture here in NYC.) Do you agree? Also, what about our friend Dan's interesting theory that this kind of appreciation of food (fresh high quality organic and/or locally grown food) is one of the more positive legacies of the 60's.
