Wait, you can eat cabbage flowers??

 Yes, and they are delicious! So are chive flowers, as students and teachers recently discovered, and both edible flowers made appearances in our springtime salad earlier this week. This past Tuesday and Wednesday, dozens of Kitchen All Stars and MVPs ventured into the Brainfood garden for the first time.

There was a lot going on in this vibrant green space: Touring the raised beds with farmer Kate. Harvesting herbs, radishes, greens, and cabbage (and nibbling on the delicate yellow cabbage flowers while harvesting). Conducting a human scavenger hunt to learn more about their peers from different Brainfood sites. Planting our inaugural fruit tree (a fig!) at the Mount Vernon site. And, of course, lots of cooking and eating. It is an adventure perhaps better told in photos than in words....
