hey I'm at the famous Union Square
Farmers Market for the Green Market and
I'm just going in I thought I would
actually show you what you can find in a
city market let's go great thing I love
about Farmers barket is like got
everything they got flowers look at
these beautiful flowers so they have got
different booths selling all kinds of
goodies this is a place that has organic
lettuce and uh you can kind of see their
nice little packages um different kinds
of lettuce and um here's who soul and
what I think is interesting about
lettuce is that we used always think
about them as just salad greens but even
though lettuce is very watery it
actually has different pigments and
lettuce with red pigments contain cyanid
this is like anthoy and portin both of
these are the same things that are
actually found in berries and other
types of healthy vegetables that
activate your metabolism so Che it out
he shees gross
lettuce it's got some red pigment to it
it got this one right here I think Miss
so the pigmented puses actually are good
for the heal now why do I get organic
the reason you want to get organic is
because organic Clues uh fruits and
vegetables are grown without pesticides
pesticides are uh kill all the insects
uh so that the crop actually can be more
productive and look a little better but
the issue is that the insects that
nibble on the plants actually stimulate
the plant to produce bioactives so many
of the bioactives like the cyanidin and
of course we talked about are made in a
plant in part as a wo healing response
to the night nature that they're grown
in when you actually treat with
pesticides you kill off the bugs less
injury less nibbling on the stems and
you actually that plant needs to make
less bioactives so when you actually
have conventionally grown with
pesticides fruits and vegetables uh you
get fewer bioactives when you actually
you get organic you get more bioactives
more natural more living in nature with
the little bugs nibbling on them and
they have more bioactives that's a Reon
eny to buy bio could said that's why I'm
here at this stall in the Farmers Park
let's go check out some other ones all
right I found something else that I love
ramps we don't know what ramps are these
that to come out in the late spring just
for a few weeks and these are related to
the onion family uh they grow wild uh
they um have this bulb with a beautiful
leaf and uh what you do is you uh clip
off to the bulb and you you can wash off
the leaves and all you have to do is to
put them on a pla like a griddle a
little bit of extra virgin olive oil and
just let them sit there for literally
like 10 seconds 15 seconds Max and you
pull them off and you it wind up just
having this delicious as spring fresh
vegetable you don't need to do very much
with it it is absolutely delicious I
love wraps now here's the thing wraps
are actually very healthy for you like
other families of alium onions garlic
shallots uh ramps actually can
the bioactives cherol coratin routin
these actually are good for the
circulation they activate your
metabolism and the other thing that
ramps actually are able to do is lower
blood pressure and lower flood lipids
and so these are the the types of
bioactives that I'm talking about but
more importantly this is a delicious
seasonal food called ramps I I encourage
anybody who doesn't who isn't familiar
with ramps to give it a shot this is a
beautiful display
though and I can't wait to cook with
some of
these all right I found another favorite
of mine go check it out and there's a
line that pins out a little bit I'm
going to reach over there these are pet
tendrils this is actually the delicate
leaves of the plant that produces spring
peas now see if you can see them through
there these are a little bit more than
Sprouts or chots but they have stems and
they've got delicious leaves they kind
of taste tastes like fresh peas a little
bit and they're great to cook with they
contain cerol and cortin just like I
talked about uh with ramps good for the
metabolism good for your circulation
good for lipid control and there's fiber
in P tendrils this is a part of the food
that most people don't eat that I
encourage you to try just wash these off
again uh snap off the harder parts of
the stems uh and uh you all you need to
do is put them in a walk or a skillet a
little bit of uh oil could be extra
virgin olive oil and give it a Qui stir
fry add a little bit of water to it to
finish it off it'll be absolutely
delicious literally this
takes 30 seconds I to cook tea tendrils
um chop up some garlic you got the
garlic and penals this is a classic uh
in traditional Chinese cookie check it
out another find I have for you check
this out Fiddle Head Furs this is
actually fur
just like you would actually have from
in the woods you know growing on the
ground that are beautiful these are the
ferns before they unfurl they're still
curled up together check it out this is
actually a delicious Market treat we
only find them for a few weeks uh in the
springtime and um uh you to wash them
off really good because they're actually
found on the forest ground uh they
stepped off uh wash them and uh you can
actually blanch them sauté them or just
uh uh um cook them down with some other
vegetables uh as well little onions a
little garlic uh you can add some red
belt pepp burst and make yourself a nice
Fiddle Head sauté absolutely delicious
it does have a slightly asparagus slice
taste but check it out just absolutely
beautiful if you haven't had Fiddle Head
ferns this is a Dr Lee special I
strongly advise it
delicious cortin and kerol are the
bioactive in Fidel head ferns just like
many of these spring vegetables you get
that bean tempol ctin good for
metabolism good for circulation good for
your blood
lipids and go for your taste
placea spicy greens you can have the
salad you can CH tato as well contains
ioio it's the same thing that's in
bacoli and another brat highly recommend
it it's add a nice peppery taste to it
if you organic ones they're going to Che
out more bioactives as life
ah look what I found here we're going to
take a look at this mushrooms I love
going to the mushroom section check out
these all these beautiful mushrooms
great display Chestnut
mushrooms May mushrooms golden moisture
mushrooms what artificial in the
mushroom besides absolutely delicious a
we as a solu fiber and a bio tip it
beats a got microbiome and any other
things that it does and it can also star
answer by cutting off the you're not a
mush Glover you should try them and if
you are buy them when you get them
prepped from a reput of porer don't ever
try to porge mushrooms yourself there
lots and deadly poisonous mushrooms out
there that look edible uh what you want
to do is to get somebody in no what
they're doing that's about the money was
our three uh sort by the way uh not only
B of glut but vitamin D and if you want
a little tip on how to get more vitamin
D out of your mushrooms one thing you
can actually do is uh slice them and
expose them to sunlight of your kitchen
window because then you'll actually get
the B the sunshine activating uh vitamin
D production get the mro and Flash get a
little bit more before you cooking
couple of hours all right I want to make
one more point about lro was and I think
will be helpful but these are mostly
edible mushrooms lion fade which has
become very very popular is actually a
medicinal mushroom use a traditional
Chinese medicine and Asian healing it it
does actually uh f pretty nice but
actually traditionally a a medicinal
mushroom I like to uh suggest that you
leave the medicinal mushrooms for
traditional healers to use and not just
for culinary use some of these other
mushro are just culinary mushroom Keeps
The Culinary mushrooms at the kitchen
medical mushrooms when you need them
with in the hands of ational pealer
that's the safest way as you get but I
am so delighted that uh this uh get
these uh great fresh mushrooms at the
Union Square Market look here's some
something else I found check this out

chamomile part of chamomile te here is
fresh chamomile look at that it is uh so
interesting how beautiful it is look at
the look at the tendrils here yeah looks
like a gigantic Bunch coming out of time
here you go a bunch of camomile so what
is in chamomile chamomile contains a
bioa called appenine and appenine is
that a mild stive which is why it
