mystery greens
February 5th, 2007
What do you suppose this mysterious flower-like vegetable is? To me it looks like the Jolly Green Giant’s wedding bouquet, or maybe the flower he pinned to the lapel of his giant green tuxedo.
I bought this emerald beauty from the Mariquita Farms stand at the Ferry Building farmers Market.
Can you guess what it is?

Mangold leaves is my guess….

Hey harry! Hmm… the leaves do resemble mangold leaves a bit. Hint: it’s a Chinese green.
