Have you ever tried black garlic?
Black Garlic tastes like sweet, slightly chewy garlic (think sweet, balsalmic garlic).
Black garlic is loaded with antioxidants and minerals. It is easy to digest and doesn't leave you with garlic breath.
Some of the health benefits include:
-Lowers blood pressure and inflammation
-Regulates blood sugar
-Has been shown to kill cancer cells (in studies completed by the International Journal of Preventive Medicine and in vitro studies published in the Journal of Nutrition and Research Practice.)
-Boosts heart health, immune function, and brain cognitive health.
-Is lower in carbs and higher in antioxidants than fresh garlic.
To enjoy: Peel and eat
Come try it today @vancouverfarmersmarket TODAY only- it's our last Market until March! Open Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. we're located on the corner of Esther Street and 8th Street

Farm harvesting this week- Jerusalem Artichokes or Sunchokes or even Fartichokes as we call them 🤣 make sure to peel them to help with that...
They're high in Inulin an insoluble fiber that helps control blood sugar and aid in digestion. It also helps the body absorb calcium and magnesium as well as grow healthy gut biome.
Sunchokes are a member of the sunflower family and have been cultivated for centuries by Indigenous American tribes. They are perennial and tend to spread easily, coming back year after year and providing an important food source.
Also coming up- radishes, colorful braising mix, cabbages, baby carrots, seasonal greens, and so much more!
Don't miss our LAST market until March @vancouverfarmersmarket this Saturday from 10-2 pm.
See ya there!

Have you ever tried Sweet Potato Greens ?
They're delicious and similar to spinach.
grab a bunch Today only @vancouverfarmersmarket till 3 pm!
Sweet potato greens with coconut milk recipe:
1 large bunch sweet potato greens
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 shallots, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root (from a 1/2-inch piece)
2 teaspoons grated fresh turmeric root, or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 red thai chili, finely sliced
1 to 2 teaspoons soy sauce, or to taste
1 cup coconut cream plus 1 cup water (or substitute 2 cups light or regular coconut milk)
2 to 3 teaspoons raw or brown sugar, or to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions :
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Trim off any thick stems from greens. Add to boiling water and blanch for 60 seconds, then immediately transfer greens to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking. Drain.
Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, chili, and lemongrass and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in soy sauce.
Add coconut cream and water (or coconut milk) and bring to a simmer. Add blanched greens and return to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Add sugar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon into bowls and serve with rice.
