This is another highly nutrient dense and delicious vegetable, which goes great in a stir fry, can be eaten raw with dips, added to soups, or even roasted with a little oil, garlic and lemon juice.

Also commonly known as dino kale, this is a variety with a long history in Italian cuisine. It’s a hearty kale that retains its texture when cooked making it great for stews and braising. It also makes great kale chips.
This is a pre-cut mix of spicy baby salad leaves such as green and red mizuna, purple tatsoi, mustard greens and arugula. It is delicious served on it’s own as a simple side salad, mixed with lettuce for something more substantial, or in sandwiches and spring rolls.
Prized for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, the red pigments in beets called betalains are more concentrated in this vegetable than in other sources and they provide particular benefits for cardiovascular health. Beets can be eaten raw grated into a salad, or cooked very simply by boiling whole, frying in slices, or roasting in cubes/wedges.
Recipes
A lot like spinach, but the leaf needs to be removed from the stem and cooked separately. Chard is one of the most nutrient dense vegetables available, and depending on which nutrients you measure, in some analyses, it comes out better than kale or spinach.
Recipes
These are apparently the worlds most popular vegetable, and will be making a regular appearance in your boxes. However, along with beets they are higher in sugar and starch than the other veggies in this list and consequently should be eaten in smaller portions.

Don’t be fooled by the multi-colors, these are regular green beans, just bred for a bit more of a flashy appearance. Unfortunately the purple ones will turn back to green when cooked, but they’re also great raw in a salad where their color can shine
Recipes
Very similar to the classic Italian style eggplant except it’s long and slender with a more delicate flesh that cooks more quickly than the Italian variety.
Also known as tropical melons, they look a lot like cantaloupe on the outside with a corky, net like rind, but on the inside they have a lime-green flesh with a complex flavor suggestive of tropical fruit and a fresh, banana-like aroma.
Like all of our melons, they are picked when ripe and will be ready to eat when you receive them, but will keep well for a few days in the fridge after delivery.
Brought to the US by Italians in the 1920s, the word Zucchini comes from Zucca, the Italian word for Squash. They’re a super versatile vegetable used in almost every culinary style around the world.

Pearl Couscous With Summer Veg
A staple in so many Mexican, Indian and other South East Asian cuisines. To some people it apparently tastes like soap, but to me its zesty aroma and spiced flavor are the essence of curry dishes.
Recipes
Green available only. If you would like just one specific color, please note this in the comments section on your order form. Otherwise you will receive a mix.

Spaghetti Squash with Italian Style Tomato Sauce
A sweet, Japanese variety of turnip that can be eaten raw when young, up to two inches in diameter, or is great as a roasted vegetable as it continues to grow. The tops are also hairless, unlike European varieties, which mean they are great as a salad leaf or lightly cooked like spinach.
Recipes
Apparently this vegetable originated as a cross between a turnip and a cabbage and it has been grown commonly in northern Europe since at least the 15th century.
It is similar in appearance to a turnip, except that it is usually larger and has a slightly yellow tinge which turns a deeper orange-gold when it’s cooked. Rutabagas are also sweeter than turnips and don’t have the sharp, peppery twang that purple top turnips are known for.
