Try something new this summer and invite these fair-weather guests to your table!
1️⃣ Dandelion greens are edible and highly nutritious! They have a earthy, bitter flavor that mellows when cooked. They can be eaten raw in salad mixes or cooked down with other vegetables.
2️⃣ Huckleberries should NOT be mistaken for a blueberry — the vibes are completely different. As they get darker in color, they get sweeter and have a mild flavor. Use it like you would a blueberry in pies, jams, jellies, and even liqueurs!
3️⃣ Kohlrabi is the international vegetable of mystery and a staple of a summer farmers` market. With a similar taste and texture to broccoli stems and cabbage (though slightly sweeter!), you can roast, sauté, mash, and even spiralize kohlrabi.
4️⃣ Romanesco is unique due to its structure and earthy and nutty flavor, but it can be prepared like cauliflower or broccoli.
5️⃣ Tomatillos are the least shady nightshade out there. (Well, nightshades aren`t that shady anyway. 😎) With a bright and tangy flavor, cooking them down leads to a sweeter profile perfect for salsas (hey, salsa verde!), soups, and stews.

Ordering from Meadows Coffeehouse too much? (like that could ever happen!) Concerned about your caffeine intake? Keep reading below!
The buzz on the street is that caffeine hinders hydration. We`re here to bust that myth with, well, science. 🧑🔬
What`s the buzz?
Folks who drink a lot of caffeine note more frequent restroom trips after consuming caffeinated beverages.
What does the science say?
Various studies have analyzed the effects of caffeine pills and caffeinated beverages on hydration, all finding similar conclusions at various levels of caffeine intake:
➡️ Caffeinated beverages add to our daily fluid intake the same way water does.
➡️ High concentrations of caffeine (4-5 cups of coffee) may show mild dehydrating effects.
What`s the takeaway?
Caffeine does have negative side-effects that aren`t related to dehydration such as jitters, affected sleep patterns, and large amounts of sugar in caffeinated beverages.
Consider hydrating with water, unsweetened teas, and spa waters — get other ideas from the post we shared earlier this week! #TheBuzz #CaffeineMythBusted #HydrationScience #CaffeineFacts #StayHydrated

Stay hydrated this summer with these 8 tips from our dietitians — and, no, they aren`t all just "drink water!" 😉
💧 Here’s some water basics before we dive in 💧
You`ve probably heard the guidance eight 8-ounce glasses of water, or 64 ounces per day, but it isn`t a hard and fast rule and depends on the person.
Most folks get 80% of their fluids from beverages and 20% from food.
The key to hydration is unsweetened beverages and foods naturally filled with water like fruits and vegetables.
7 ways to meet your fluid needs:
1️ Make your own spa water by adding fruit, vegetables, and herbs in plain or sparkling water.
2️ Spike seltzer with juice, fresh fruit, or crushed mint.
3️⃣ Sip on unsweetened herbal iced teas.
4️⃣ Enjoy chilled soups.
5️⃣ Swap morning cereal for a smoothie bowl.
6️⃣ Make your own fruit popsicles.
7️⃣ Enjoy a snack of fresh fruits or vegetables.
8️⃣ Try a trendy sparkling water!
