But yeah, opting for fresh (local, even, I mean, you DO live in California) broccoli would be better if you can swing it. Kate - Radish greens are indeed the leaves that are attached to radishes. I leave mine bunched and chop them off all at once, then un-bunch for washing. Yum! And aparagus is hard, I feel you on that one. I hold the ends of each spear, bend, and let it snap. Then I discard whatever has snapped off the bottom end of the spear, which is sometimes a lot. But if you can get really really fresh (meaning local) asparagus pretty much the entire spear is edible (we had some in DC a few times and it was amazing!). Lori – at least you are eating broccoli!

I will try this! Are radish greens something other than the leafy tops of radishes?
