Farmers Market Finds: Squash Blossoms

Nothing marks the coming of spring more than the blooming of flowers.

Sqaush blossoms, or flor de calabaza, are the flowering portion of a wide range of squashes and gourds know as Calabaza.  Adding a vibrancy and subtle squash flavor to any dish, our favorite ways to prepare them at The FareTrade are stuffed with home-made ricotta (Check out this easy recipe from The Kitchn) or in a quesadilla with cotija cheese, epazote + Willy B's Hot Sauce.
