Does the idea of hand-drawn vegetables paired with deep cultural knowledge make your heart race?  The folks at Cleaver Quarter got you covered.  A set of 52 pocket-sized cards, each depicting a classic Chinese vegetable: leafy greens, legumes, aromatics, aquatic plants, roots, gourds, fungi, edible flowers. The back of the cards detail how these ingredients are traditionally eaten in China and include tips for home cooks on how to make the most of each vegetable’s unique shape, texture, flavors, nutritional content.  Plus, a fun fact is included with every card!

This delightfully portable vegetable dictionary will jazz up your kitchen repertoire and help you navigate produce departments like an ace.  Pro tip: these cards are especially fun for kids scavenger hunts in Asian grocery stores.
