Use-It-All-Up Flatbread

As Tragically Hip fans, we have sought wisdom in the lyric, “Use it up, use it all up, don’t save a thing for later.” Every year, we try to offer our customers an early season reminder: almost all parts of what we grow for you are edible. Carrot tops, beet greens, scallion roots. Good for eating – use it up! The most fail-proof advice for the odd bits is to think fat and carbs. Consider Indian Pakoras or Japanese Tempura. Omelettes and frittatas work, too. This suggestion? Flatbread with turnip and radish green pesto.
