Fresh Produce Every Wednesday and Saturday morning at Springfield’s Old Capitol Farmers Market.
New: Kalettes
Kalettes are a brand new vegetable that are a fusion of kale and brussels sprouts. They have a sweet and nutty flavor. Kalettes are also incredibly versatile and can be cooked in a variety of ways — sautéed, roasted, grilled or eaten raw. Kalettes may well be one of the most versatile vegetables out there!
