🌱 Okra & Long Bean Salad 🫚 Try this recipe curated by our Educational Chef Tatiana (@taurus.season.food) - This bright, crisp salad celebrates seasonal okra and yard long beans, blanched to preserve their vibrant color and crunch, then tossed in a light yet deeply savory sesame-ginger dressing. Ingredients ✨ 1 carton fresh okra (about 12–15 pods), trimmed (@snapfingerfarm ) 1 bundle of yard long beans, cut into 2-inch pieces (@crackinthesidewalk_farmlet ) ½ medium red onion, very thinly sliced ¼ cup fresh cilantro or papao, chopped 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish Dressing: 3 tbsp rice vinegar 1 tbsp fresh lime juice 1 tsp honey (@wild_light_honey ) ½ tsp tamari 1 tsp fresh ginger ½–1 tsp chili crisp 1½ tsp toasted sesame oil 3 tbsp avocado oil 1–2 tbsp water, to adjust consistency Pinch of black pepper Black and white sesame seeds (for garnish) Instructions ✨ 1. Trim the stem ends from the okra and trim the ends off the yard long beans. 2. Thinly slice the red onion and submerge in ice water for 10 minutes. This mellows the bite and keeps it crisp. 3. Blanch the yard long beans first. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 3–4 minutes until bright green but still tender-crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon. 4. Blanch the okra next. Add the okra to the boiling water and cook for just 2–3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. 5. Shock in an ice bath. Immediately plunge both vegetables into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. This locks in that brilliant green color. 6. Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk the rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, tamari, grated ginger, and chili sauce. Slowly drizzle in both oils while whisking continuously to create a light emulsion. 7. Once cooled, slice the okra diagonally into coins for easy eating. 8. In a large bowl, combine the blanched okra, yard long beans, and drained red onion. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently but thoroughly until evenly coated. 9. Garnish and serve. Top with sesame seeds, toasted nuts, and fresh herbs.

What’s In Season: Autumn Edition! 🍁 Get ready to embrace the harvest with an incredible abundance straight from Georgia farms! This season, local markets are overflowing with flavor-rich essentials perfect for nourishing your body as cooler days arrive. The lineup includes hearty root vegetables like carrots, radishes, turnips, beets, sunchokes, and sweet potatoes, plus warming winter squashes. You’ll find familiar favorites like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant still thriving, alongside fresh greens such as lettuce, kale, collards, arugula, mustard greens, rainbow chard, and cabbage. Don’t forget aromatic herbs including Thai basil, holy basil, oregano, mint, rosemary, dill, fennel, turmeric, and ginger! And there’s plenty of fruit too - apples, pears, persimmons, and muscadines round out this spectacular haul. 🥕🍎 Meet the Autumn Superstars: Ready to try something new? Here are four seasonal stars that are not only delicious but also powerhouses for your body. Swipe to find recipes for each seasonal superstar! 🍠 Sweet Potatoes: Native to tropical South America and in the morning glory family, these nutrient-dense roots are high in vitamin A, fiber, and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals that support digestion and immune health. Rich in complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, and you can also eat the leaves raw or cooked like spinach! 🎃 Winter Squashes: From pumpkins to butternut, spaghetti, delicata, and candy roaster squash, these colorful treasures all belong to the Cucurbitaceae family. Packed with vitamins A and C, fiber, antioxidants, magnesium, and potassium, orange fall foods help maintain mucosal membranes in the respiratory tract, protecting you from seasonal illness as temperatures drop. 🍐 Pears: Members of the rose family alongside apples, strawberries, and plums, these fruits are rich in pectin - a soluble fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria. With a low glycemic index for blood sugar regulation plus vitamins C and potassium, poached pears combat autumn dryness, soothe inflammation, and ease digestion. 🌻 Sunchokes: Also known as Jerusalem artichokes, these knobby root vegetables relate to daisies and sunflowers in the Asterace
