5 Fresh produce Picks to Try

Enjoy a side of bok choy, a type of cabbage, sliced and sauteed
with garlic and ginger. Add other veggies and meat for a stir-fry.
Snack on the vivid flesh of ripe papaya tossed with chili powder
and lime. Frozen, the sweet, musky fruit is great in smoothies.
Belgian endive can be sliced lengthwise and grilled, but we love
the crunchy uncooked leaves as scoops for bites of soft cheese or
smoked fish.
Tomatillos have a mouth-puckering flavor that makes them delicious
raw or roasted in salsa. They're also bright and luscious when
braised with chicken.
Choose jicama when you crave crunch. Cut it into matchsticks for
slaw or salads. It's refreshing, mild, and won't discolor like tubers
might.
