FRESH| Double tap if you’ve tried the Honeynut squash! If you haven’t, you may ask, “Is it not a butternut squash?” The Honeynut squash is actually cousin to the butternut squash!

So where does the Honeynut come from?

The Honeynut squash is a collaborative challenge between the minds of professor of Plant Breeding and Genetics at Cornell University, Michael Mazourek, and chef and co-owner of Blue Hill, Dan Barber! With Mazourek’s plant-genetics expertise and Barber’s superior palette, they were able to breed the Honeynut squash for flavor. The butternut squash’s tiny cousin actually has way more flavor! It’s also packed with more nutrients. Yep, this little Honeynut has double the amount of beta-carotene and carries a lot of vitamin A. Never underestimate the power of smaller vegetables. #HappyDirtAlert

FRESH| Rutabaga or turnip? Do you know the difference?

If you guessed rutabaga, you’re correct! People often mistake this root vegetable with a turnip. They are 50% accurate in their assumption, though! A rutabaga is a cross between a cabbage and turnip. It’s slightly less bitter than a turnip, tasting like a carrot without the sweetness. If you really want to fall in love with rutabagas, they are quite heavenly when they’re roasted, mashed like potatoes, baked in casseroles, or cooked in a stew. #HappyDirtAlert
