What to do with them? How to Store? Recipes below!

garlic – we don't need to tell you who to use up this little gem.

(keep in a dark/dry place)

zucchini - check out this list of Food 52's best 31 zucchini recipes of all time

(store in the fridge in a plastic bag)

kale – don’t forget to give it a little massage and remove the stem. Check out this video of how to remove kale leaves from the stem in seconds. See below for recipes.

(store in the fridge)

carrots – this carrot salad recipe looks good.

(Remove the carrot tops (they leach moisture from the roots) before storing them both in plastic bags in the fridge)

swiss chard - we've been meaning to try this recipe for swiss chard chips with honey mustard dipping sauce.

beans – beans beans beans! We love beans! especially in this recipe for green beans gremolata.

(store in a bag in the fridge)

basil – basil season is fleeting, blink and you'll miss it. Make some pesto, sprinkle on pasta, or use in a lemonade.

(store in a glass on the counter, with some water in the bottom)

cucumber – peel a little, slice up, sprinkle with salt, serve on a plate. We prefer them crisp and cold from the fridge. So refreshing!
