Community Food Distribution Project Supplement #4
Each week, when we deliver local produce and groceries to over 300 local households though the Community Food Distribution Project, we are including a handout with some recipes and cooking tips that include items in the box and a family activity generated by the Grow Food Kids team to try.
For past CFDP Supplements LOOK HERE.
Here is a PDF version of this week’s supplement in English and Spanish.
This week’s recipes are:

This week’s Grow Food Kids activity:
Let’s grow carrot tops! Carrot tops make pretty plants for a sunny window and their fern-like foliage will eventually bloom white lace-like flowers.
Growing Carrot Tops
- Cut the top from a carrot. You’ll need about one inch of the root part (the widest part of the carrot).
- Stick a toothpick into both sides of the carrot piece and balance it on top of a small glass.
- Fill the glass with water up to and barely touching the bottom edge of your carrot top. Set the glass in a light, but not sunny window.
- Add water as needed to keep it touching the edge of your carrot and watch the roots sprout.
You are growing the carrot plant from a carrot top, not the vegetable. Carrots are a taproot and once it is removed from the plant, it can’t regrow, unlike a potato.
¡Cultivemos las zanahorias!
Las cimas de las zanahorias hacen plantas bonitas para una ventana soleada y su follaje en forma de helecho eventualmente florecer
flores blancas con forma de encaje.
Tapas de Zanahoria en Crecimiento
- Corta la parte superior de una zanahoria. Necesitarás aproximadamente una pulgada de la parte de la raíz (la parte más ancha de la zanahoria).
- Pegue un palillo de dientes en ambos lados del trozo de zanahoria y equilibre sobre un vaso pequeño.
- Llena el vaso con agua hasta apenas tocar el borde inferior de la parte superior de la zanahoria. Coloque el vidrio en una ventana ligera pero no soleada.
- Agregue agua según sea necesario para mantenerla tocando el borde de su zanahoria y observe cómo brotan las raíces.
Estás cultivando la planta de zanahoria desde la parte superior de una zanahoria, no la verdura. Las zanahorias son una raíz principal y una vez que se retira de la planta, no puede volver a crecer, a diferencia de una papa.
