SALT & STRAW ICE CREAM
This new ice cream parlor scoops out traditional and offbeat “farm-to-cone” flavors made with local fruits, cheeses, and even salumi.

A study found that citrus juices enable more of green tea's unique antioxidants to remain after simulated digestion, making the pairing even healthier than previously thought. The study compared the effect of various beverage additives on catechins, naturally occurring antioxidants found in tea. Results suggest that complementing green tea with either citrus juices or vitamin C likely increases the amount of catechins available for the body to absorb.and
Botanical evidence indicates that India and China were among the first countries to cultivate tea. Today, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world, second only to water.

Asparagus Tamales
With a restaurant in Milwaukie and mobile tamale kitchens at several local farmers’ markets (notably the Thursday evening Buckman Farmers’ Market), Canby Asparagus Farm has cornered the market on asparagus tamales. Choose between chicken and asparagus, pork and asparagus, and “asparagus only” and layer on the salsa and crema for a kicky take on the steamed and stuffed staple.
Canby Asparagus Farm, Casa de Tamales, 10605 SE Main St., Milwaukie and at local farmers markets.
