Spring Produce: What's New at the Market

After a long winter when the produce aisle is mostly root vegetables and long-storage cabbage, spring brings the first wave of fresh greens and young vegetables. These aren’t just a welcome change of pace on the plate — they mark the turn of the season well before summer tomatoes and berries show up.

Radishes — the first sign of spring

Radishes are usually one of the first spring vegetables to hit the market, often as early as April. A good radish should feel firm with no soft spots or cracks, and the greens, if still attached, should look fresh and crisp rather than wilted — limp greens are a reliable sign the radish has been sitting around for a while. Young radishes are great in salads, but they’re just as good simply sliced with butter and salt, a classic spring pairing.
