The Veggie Alphabet Challenge {week 4}

We are on week 4 of the Alphabet Veggie Challenge and last week we chose the letter:



Which I am sad and disappointed to report that I could not find one single vegetable that started with the letter of the week at grocery stores. Here is a list of some vegetables that start with the letter "D"

Dandelion Nettles

Daikon

Dulse

Dolichos Bean

I did however find a tropical fruit that starts with the letter "D" and it is one of my favorites:

Dragonfruit!





The texture is watery and porous and the little black seeds are similar to those in berries, you don't even notice them. I loved the combination of colors and I learned that the darker the pink and green the more ripe it is! 



For week 4 we are definitely choosing a letter that we can easily find vegetables in and a great variety! 


Can't wait to see what vegetables we will try and how we will enjoy them. What letter are you most excited for?
