Produce Pick: Gooseberries & Peas
Posted in: Toddler Approved, Video Posts | 6 Comments
We’re baaaaack. :) Just a short video this week where the child and I share some produce picks from our local farmers market.
The first is the gooseberry. According to NutritionData.com gooseberries are only 66 calories a cup with 1g of fat and a whopping 6g of fiber.
The second are raw, shelled peas. The toddler, oops! I mean "the child" totally fell in love with these. He ate so many while we were at the market that I had to buy another bushel! There’s nothing better then watching a young child get so excited about eating peas. PEAS! Just because he gets to pluck them out of a pod. That cracks me up.
Anyway the video is super short this week. Not sure what we’ll do next. The temp kitchen is not very conducive to cooking shows. :)

Reminds me of a little boy about “the child’s” age I saw at Disneyland last week. He was eating a baggie of frozen peas while waiting in line for a ride!
My neighbor used to have a gooseberry bush and when we were kids, we’d pick them. I don’t think we ever let them ripen, though. We just ate them green and sour. So much fun! I didn’t like peas at all as a child EXCEPT raw. They are awesome. So glad you guys checked in with all of us with a video. It was nice to see you and Ryan. Hope you have a happy and safe 4th of July. =)
Jen – the toddler LOVES frozen peas. lol He even has me eating them now.
Peas… we thought our kids were weird…they only eat peas fresh or frozen. Maybe we should call the froz peas “green dippin dots!” We have planted 1/2 garden worth of peas!
he’s too darn cute! i love when you do the produce picks and he just loves the stuff! he couldn’t get those peas in his mouth fast enough :)
cool! i’ve never tried gooseberries!
