UNI/UCHS garden has been growing a new herb from Mexico called Papalo, or, in Bolivia, Quilquina, which tastes something like cilantro but which is used raw because cooking destroys its flavor. It is used as an at-the-table addition to soups, stews, grilled meats, beans, and salads, and is essential for true salsas. An added bonus: it is said to have medicinal properties, promoting digestion and reducing high blood pressure. In addition, we have this just in from Jim DiDomenico: "While the Phillies are hanging on in the Wild Card race, the UNI/UCHS stand is throwing a changeup with its new produce for sale. First, from Mexico via our garden is the new herb papalo, which we'll be offering samples of so you can taste the subtle spicyness that gives it its great flavor. Also from our garden, our curious lemon cucumbers have been a hit among those more adventurous with their purchases at the market. For people who haven't tried them: they taste just like cucumbers but are the size of and yellow like lemons, which gives them their name. We'll also be offering low-fat yogurt, in addition to our whole milk yogurt, tofu made from organic Pennsylvania soybeans for our vegetarian customers, and monterrey jack cheese." We will have a new farmer this week. Paul Hails will be selling his goat cheese, goat milk fudge, and some vegetables. Do stop by and welcome him!
