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.
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.

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.

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 mistake these for overgrown green onions. Leeks are more like bulb onions in recipe terms and need to be added to the pot early on in cooking to soften them up. They have a milder, more delicate flavor than bulb onions, but can be used as an alternative in most recipes to keep things interesting.

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

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
This herbaceous vegetable native to the Mediterranean has a sweet, mild licorice flavor with the frondy parts being much stronger flavor than the bulb at the base of the plant. All parts are edible and it can cooked into soups and stews (often paired with seafood) or eaten raw, thinly sliced into salads.
Green and red available. 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.

Celeriac is variety of celery that has been bred to grow a large lower stem and root ball, which is the part that you eat rather than the leaf stalks that form normal celery. The vegetable is peeled to reveal a smooth, white interior, and can be eaten raw or cooked. The skinny stalks and greenery are also edible and are sometimes used as garnish or in cooked dishes as a replacement for celery.
It has an earthy, nutty, celery flavor and can be roasted, boiled, steamed, mashed, and even grated raw into salads.
Currently I have the following varieties available:
