Farm Focus: Mexican Mint Marigold

Mexican Mint Marigold, also known as Spanish tarragon, is one of the tasty herbs grown here at Rosy Tomorrows Heritage Farm. We love the hints of liquorish and anise this plant produces. The vibrant flowers are edible, and the leaves used as a flavor-filled alternative for tarragon. This delicious delight was found in the mountains of Mexico and Guatemala, and has been documented in Mexico for allegedly being used by the Aztecs in ceremonies involving Tlaloc, their rain god. We love that this plant is a perennial in south Florida, which means it grows year-round! It is used in French culinary dishes, and pairing well with poultry or fish, ...

Treat the flavorful leaves like arugula and put them in salads, chop them into egg salad, and top them on pizza. Nasturtiums are extremely nutritious and contain vitamin C and iron. Here on the farm, we use the larger, more mature leaves as as a stand-in for grape leaves using them for “dolma,” the Turkish rice dish. The ...

Minuet Cabbage (also commonly called Chinese Cabbage or Napa Cabbage) has thick crisp stems and frilly yellow-green leaves. The flavor is often sweeter and softer than common cabbage. Seasoned and fermented, it tastes great as kimchi and Minuet cabbage shines as a base for raw salads and stir-fries. Its outer leaves are great for wrapping homemade spring rolls but the tender inner leaves are what really makes this vegetable an extremely versatile superstar. Minuet cabbage is extremely low in calories but packed with many antioxidant plant compounds such as carotenes, thiocyanates, indole-3-carbinol, lutein, zea-xanthin, sulforaphane and isothiocyan...
