The adventure to the Far East began with a slightly randy vegetable anatomy lesson from Joselyn Maramu at the morning Saturday Market in Gisborne. Did you know that there is a difference between a male and a female kumera? It is true and a bit naughty but not exactly what you would think. I will not ruin the fun for you though you will need to go visit Joselyn and buy some of her delicious kumera to find out. Her silverbeet has a rich earthy flavour to it that is unique to the hard work they have done saving seed from the most promising plants. If you live in the area you do not want to miss this one.
The early market apparently is cheaper to shop at and some growers reportedly raise their prices when they go to the later market. Early bird gets the pick of the veggies as well however for the organic shopper there were only two stalls with organic produce but they were delicious. Sam scooped up a mess of Organic walnuts and that kumera was made into a delicious kumera burritos one of my favourite recipes.
