"While you're at the market, grab a head of broccoli to enjoy the essential vitamins, potassium, fiber, and calcium all packed into this one veggie. Broccoli harvested during the cooler months is often sweeter and very tender, so now is a great time to pick some up. At the market you can find broccoli varieties like gai lan, broccolini, and Romanesco, which can be cooked in very different and delicious ways. Look for broccoli with a uniformly green crown without yellow/brown spots or limp stems."
"If you want a versatile (and crowd pleasing) companion to broccoli, look no further than potatoes. Potatoes are packed with all sorts of nutrients, especially if cooked with the skin on, and can be prepared countless ways. Fry, boil, bake, or mash them; potatoes can be incorporated into almost any meal. Vendors at the market offer an assortment of potatoes, from classic russets and Yukons, to fingerlings and blue/purple potatoes."
Divisadero Farmers' Market operates Sundays from 9 am to 1 pm at Fell and Baker, and Fillmore Farmers' Market runs Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm at O'Farrell and Fillmore; the Castro market is closed for the season. Winter broccoli provides vitamins, potassium, fiber, and calcium, with varieties such as gai lan, broccolini, and Romanesco; choose heads with uniformly green crowns and firm stems. Potatoes supply nutrients, especially when cooked with skins, and are available in russets, Yukons, fingerlings, and blue/purple types; vendors can advise on selection. Citrus season brings kumquats, lemons, and blood oranges in California.
