What to do with them? How to Store? Recipes below!
tomatoes - whatever you do, don't put tomatoes in the fridge!
(store at room temperature, ideally in a single layer, out of the sun. We've also found that storing them stem side down (yes upside down) makes them last longer, as their skin is very thin on the bottom)
zucchini - check out this list of 31 best zucchini recipes. These zucchini pickles look good.
(store in the fridge in a plastic bag)
carrots – you know the drill. Roast them, sauté them, juice them, cut them into sticks and dip into something tasty.
(Remove the carrot tops (they leach moisture from the roots) before storing them both in plastic bags in the fridge)
beans – beans are easily one of our most cherished vegetables. We suggest steaming or boiling them for a few minutes and finishing them off with a little butter. or have you tried our basil vinaigrette? recipe below
(store in a plastic bag in the fridge)
basil– oh boy! there are so many awesome things that can be done with a bit of basil. Pesto, pasta dishes, vinaigrette, or simply enjoy with your fresh tomatoes!
(store on the counter or in the fridge, in a glass with a bit of water in the bottom )
dill – chop and spread on a baking sheet, let freeze and then transfer to a container and store in the freezer. fresh parsley all year round.
(store in a glass with some water at the bottom, in the fridge)
kale – it's so tender, you don't even need to massage it,
(store in the fridge in a plastic bag)
garlic – enjoy in all your favourite dishes! see some recipe ideas below.
(store it in a warm-ish, dry, dark place for best results)
ground cherries – don't be fooled, they aren't actually cherries, they don't have a pit. Sometimes called golden berries. Peel off and discard the papery shell, then eat the entire orange-coloured berry inside. They're actually part of the tomato family, more similar to a tomatillo actually. They're a little tart, a little sweet, and have a slightly tropical flavour.
