They often have "not so common" veggies like colorful carrots, swiss chard...and recently..beets! or I should say beet!
This huge orb (about the size of a softball) was only 145 yen (plus tax).
It was labeled as a golden beet.
When I cut into it there was a slight layering of white and red, and after roasting a little golden tinge and a little fluorescent pink.
We enjoyed this with an herb vinaigrette.
What are you enjoying these days?
That's big enough to feed at least two!

I pounce on the uncommon vegs everytime one shows up at the market, and so far have tried purple carrots, yellow carrots, purple brussel sprouts, but not the multi-colored swiss chard (which isn't that uncommon elsewhere)...the purple brussel sprouts are less bitter but a bit smaller than the normal ones.
ReplyDeletepurple brussels sprouts sound interesting, Rowena, can't wait to see more brussels sprouts in general here.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
