It's In Season, your weekly segment where we highlight what's fresh and affordable at local farmers markets.
Try something new with carrots this week! If you haven't tried the viral carrot ribbon salad yet, it's a fun way to pack in nutrients and fiber. If you've already made it once, try it with a twist with carrots the color of the rainbow. Or, make a carrot cake and experiment with purple and red carrots instead of orange. Amelia Tarpey, Program and Publicity Manger for GrowNYC Greenmarkets, says you can expect carrots to go for around $3 to $5 per pound right now.
