magidI got my first box of veggies from Boston Organics. I'm getting the smaller box, 67% veggies, the rest fruit. This week, that means:
Other people apparently also got Bosc pears, celery, kiwis, avocado, eggplant, and pineapple, but those are things that either (a) I marked that I don't want to get or (b) are for people who get either the bigger boxes or differently-distributed (fruit/vegetable) boxes. I may reconsider what to put on the never-see list.
The share comes with a page of information, about what's in the box (and where it comes from), storage tips, nutritional information (I hadn't known that sunchokes' carbs are mostly in the form of inulin, and that they're a nonfat source of lots of iron), plus a couple of recipes.
I was hoping for some onions or other alliums, but this looks pretty good so far (OK, I was also hoping for interesting mushrooms, but I suspect that's very seasonal.). Initial thoughts: roast the cauliflower and the squashes. Also the potatoes, as appropriate Hannukah fare. Make some kind of fruit compote with some apple, some orange, and some cranberry, perhaps for canning.
Hm. Looking back at this, it seems closer to 50/50 for fruit. Hm.
