Have you met our pal raab? Our friend raab is a flowery fella’ with a funny name. He never would hurt a fly, plays with the birds and the bees, and smells good at the end of a long day in the field. He hardly does much work at all but he battles the elements better than us farmers, because of which he’s mighty hearty and always healthy! Talking is not his strong suit, in fact most of us have never heard a peep from good ole’ raab. He is welcoming, kind, and leaves you with a satisfying feeling once you get to know him.

Raab is a flower bud and grows on all varieties of kale, cabbage and collards. Spring is his season of triumph and he won’t be with us for long. Today in your share, you will find an assorted mix of raab tips. This is a great way to get to know the spectrum of raabs- purple, reds, greens and yellows, raab comes in not only a variety of colors but also textures and flavors too. Enjoy the taste of this springtime friend, soon he will be a distant spring memory.
