How Do You Eat Them?
Once you identify what you’ve been given, preparation is usually simple. Most shared produce can be:
- Eaten raw (washed well)
- Roasted with oil and salt
- Sautéed with garlic or spices
- Added to soups, stews, or salads
- Pickled or preserved for later
If it smells fresh and looks healthy, it’s likely meant to be enjoyed—not admired in confusion.
When in Doubt, Ask
People love talking about food they grow or share. You might get:
- A family recipe
- Cooking tips
- A story behind why they grow it
And maybe even another bag next week.

Some of the best recipes begin with:
“I didn’t know what it was… but I’m glad I tried it.”
