Roasted Romanesco Cauliflower

By Anonymous -
I can imagine if you got this in your box this week, you thought "WHAT in the world?!?"  LOL



I figured I'd dive right in and cook it..

So, pasta for dinner last night, I figured a roasted veggie would taste awesome with it.

Wash the cauliflower.

Preheat oven to 400.

I cut up the cauliflower, removing the inner bitter stalk.  I made pieces bite size, tried to get them all the same, but it didn't really work out that way..  I then washed it again.





I let it air dry, then placed it on a cookie sheet sprayed with non stick spray.

I poured a bit of olive oil over the top, and cracked both sea salt and black pepper over all  I then put a bit of red pepper flakes over the top.  And then I mixed it up a bit, just to try to get all coated with the olive oil and spices. 

I roasted for about 30 minutes, and the cauliflower was nice and brown in some places.  Not all over, but definitely "cooked".



I then put a bit of parmesan cheese over the top and served it on the side of the pasta I had made.  Absolutely FABULOUS.  I gobbled it up.



YUMMY!  Going to definitely get some more in my box next week if I can :-)

ENJOY!

The Produce Box vs. The Produce Aisle

By -

If you’re trying to decide if a Produce Box membership is for you, you may be wondering, “Can’t I get this stuff at the grocery store? And is it cheaper there?” Well, the answer to both those questions would be sometimes. The grocery store doesn’t always have everything the farmers of North Carolina can offer.  And sometimes, you may not like the reasons WHY the grocery store is cheaper. Farmers make pennies per pound from the grocery stores, and they often have to wait 30-60 days (or MORE!) to get their payment. At The Produce Box, we pay every single one of our farmers when they deliver the food to us.  In addition to this, the produce at the grocery stores often comes from across the country (1500 miles on average!) or even other countries, and has traveled for days or weeks to get to you -- it's definitely not the most fresh choice or LOCAL by any means! Keep in mind, too, that by buying from us, you’re also supporting their effort to DO GOOD in our communities.

Growing Practices in NC: What do They Mean?

At TPB, our conviction is to BUY LOCAL FIRST, above all else. We advocate for supporting our NC farm-partners, and every week, we choose to buy from our neighbors, rather than ship products from California or other countries, organic or not. We are transparent about our farmers' practices, and leave it up to our members to determine their value system as it relates to buying organic, pesticide free, local, etc.  Here's a quick run-down of several farming methods and classifications you may see at farmers' markets, grocery stores and on our weekly menu as well. We identify these growing methods if they are applicable on the website ordering page:  ORGANIC:  This certification prohibits the use of chemical fertilizers, various synthetic substances, irradiation, sewage sludge, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in organic production.  It also prohibits antibiotic and synthetic hormone use in organic meat and poultry, requires 100% organic feed for organic
