Push your own envelope when it comes to produce. Start chopping and enjoy some new-to-you vegetables!

Me too! I think we all cut corn a different way.
Great tips for cutting! I’m especially intrigued by the boiling corn silks to use for tea! Thanks for sharing these tips!

Great info. I was completely in the dark about Cassava. I guess that is why I buy it in the powdered form. LOL.

Where has this guide been all my life?! I am printing this now and using it forever.
This is such great info! Especially the artichoke, they always seem intimidating to most people!
Artichoke can also be boiled 10 minutes as it handles more easily especially for removing the inside choke with a spoon before stuffing .
