Our Organic Vegetables Are Beautiful... And Delicious!

Our reputation for beautiful organic vegetables (and organic fruit) has made us a favorite of professional food photographers across the country. And their beauty is not just skin deep! Our organic vegetables have a depth of flavor that is simply not found in store-bought varieties because our local organic vegetable farmers rush their freshly cut varieties to us just prior to our overnight shipments to you. You just can't find fresher vegetables unless they're in your own back yard.

The vegetable realm includes any edible part of a plant—leaf, stem, tuber, root, bulb, berry, and seed. The vegetable realm therefore includes grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits, and sea vegetables; technically it excludes mushrooms, which are a fungus. In common usage, however, vegetables refer to fleshy, edible plants, which are more mineral rich and less sugary than fruits.

Waiting to Eat Fresh Vegetables Means Loss of Nutrients

According to research from Penn State, a bag of spinach that has been stored at 39 degrees Fahrenheit for eight days has lost half of its folate and carotenoids, compounds known for their importance in preventing birth defects, fighting heart disease and preventing blindness and cancer. "People should just eat (spinach) fast and not let it sit in their drawers," said Luke LaBorde, associate professor of food science at Pennsylvania State. "You have to accept the reality that it's a living plant, and you should eat it while it's fresh."
