What is in my veg box and how do I cook it?

[Beabea]

It is cabbage like but with long straight leaves?

beabea when we get a substitute there is usually a sticker on the side of the box saying what it is

Small mixed

aaaa, see what you mean about the leeks1 a lot of the boxes for this week have italian chard in though????

and king cabbage (whatever that is?)

and king cabbage (whatever that is?)

january king cabbage is just a MASSIVE cabbage.. bit like a savoy

Sounds like bok choi/pak choi.

I have a mystery fruit, looks like limes but with weird pointy bits ...

Here is bok choi/pak choi. Very nice stirfried.

is it a feijoa?

that was in some abel and cole boxes

That sounds right! What do I do with it?

It looks sad and sorry and weird. I coped with those weird seedy fruits, and the baby loves persimmons.

Next thing, we'll be getting those horrible little things that look like lychee but taste like fish.

they have reciopes on their site...

feijoa YUM we used to have a feijoa hedge in NZ
Cut in half like a kiwi and eat

I think its the same as our box and it's pak choi. We've just eaten it in a lovely pak choi and chicken stir fry with noodles. Non-fat version too

Hmmmm. Never heard of feijoa. I'll have to look out for that.

The feijoa, also known as the pineapple guava and the guavasteen, is an exotic and interesting fruit. It is a sweet fruit whose taste is similar to a combination of the following fruits: banana, strawberry, guava, and pineapple.

Although you should not eat the skin of a feijoa fruit raw, you can use it as an ingredient in preserves. When you cut into a feijoa, you will see thick, juicy flesh that is either light yellow or white in color. Additionally, approximately thirty seeds are present within the flesh. These seeds are very small and can be eaten along with the flesh. The feijoa fruit is also known for its fragrant and long-lasting aroma.

there

I want one, I never knew I missed them until NQC mentioned them ,

we got chard in a&c box - i steamed it and had with sesame oil and oyster sauce. yum.

Yup, it's feijoa.

I wish they'd give us more pomegranites. And bananas that weren't really really green, instead.

could your pointy cabbage thing be 'spring greens'?

I looked at that and wondered about the spring greens.

so did I... but its winter

But it is listed as being in some of this weeks boxes. I give up Im heading for bed.

maybe it means spring as in bouncy then
