Corn

It is a vegetable that looks like ordinary corn, but in reality, it's a bit different.
As soon as they are harvested, the cobs begin to transform their starch into sugars, so the taste is sweet.
You can recognize the cobs by their intense yellow colour and white skin.

AVAILABILITY: Year-round.
STORAGE: Recommended around 3° C.

Lemon Grass

Lemongrass or Citronella is a plant often used in Asian recipes: it gives a pinch of flavour and aroma to dishes, thanks to the biting taste similar to lemon.
Excellent for preparing fish-based dishes, to marinate or cook in foil. Used in cold dishes, it refreshes and lightens, while in hot ones, it stimulates digestion.

AVAILABILITY: Year-round.
STORAGE: Recommended between 2 and 6° C.

Okra

EXOTIC VEGETABLES, GARDEN ESOTIKA

Their shape alone is reminiscent of a truly exotic vegetable. Okra looks like a cross between a courgette and a chili (green), about 5-10 centimetres long with vertical ribbed stripes.
They are seeded pods sourced from a tropical herb.
With its slightly savoury flavour, okra is no different from green beans. When you cooked them longer, the texture becomes a little mucous. They are also great for thickening soups and other dishes.

AVAILABILITY: Year-round.
STORAGE: Recommended around 6° C.

Mangiatutto
