𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐈 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫… 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐛𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐇𝐔𝐆𝐄! 💚🥬

Our Rollback to 1982 deal this week is a ripper but honestly, it’s the size of these cabbages that blew us away!

These beauties come from George Portelli’s farm at Maroota, north of Sydney. George has been growing cabbages for more than 20 years, yet here’s the not-so-funny part: he’s getting about the same price for a cabbage today as he was 20 years ago.

Meanwhile, the cost of fertiliser, fuel, wages, machinery and pretty much everything else has gone up.

This monster weighed in at 6.7kg - that works out to around 14c a kilo! 🤯

For comparison, a 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐛𝐚𝐠𝐞 at Coles is currently $6.90. And no, those inflated retail prices aren’t flowing back to the grower.

At Box Divvy, we reckon there’s plenty of cabbage around right now, so rather than pocket the benefit of lower grower prices, we’d rather help George move more of them.

And with the weather warming up, it’s the perfect time for fresh, crunchy coleslaw alongside a weekend BBQ.

Spring has sprung and salads are back on the menu! 🥗

I’ve been making this Cucumber & Radish Salad on repeat lately, and it’s so delicious!

This easy salad is loaded with crisp, refreshing cucumber, peppery radishes and crunchy celery, tossed with lots of fresh herbs and a simple, zesty vinaigrette. Finished with a crumble of tangy, creamy goat or feta cheese.

Would you give this one a try?

Let’s Talk Chokos!

Chokos - remember them? There was a time when it seemed like every Aussie household had a choko vine growing somewhere in the backyard. Then, somehow, these humble green beauties fell out of fashion.

I still remember watching Mum peel chokos over the kitchen sink, wearing her rubber gloves because of that infamous milky sap that seemed to stick to everything like superglue!

Well, chokos are quietly making a comeback and it’s easy to see why. Crisp, refreshing and wonderfully versatile, they’re perfect for slaws, pickles, curries, stir-fries and slow braises. Their mild flavour makes them a brilliant blank canvas for soaking up spices, smoke and all those delicious seasonings.

I picked up a few serves this week to help with the Hub split, and I’m planning to make a batch of old-school Mustard Choko Pickles.

So, tell me.... what’s your favourite way to prepare choko?

Looking for an easy, tasty way to enjoy sardines? These Sardine Fish Cakes are definitely worth a try!

Inspired by a recipe I spotted on the to Goodness page, these are made with Safcol Brisling Sardines in Oil, mashed potato, fresh dill and parsley, red onion, lemon zest and capers.

Shape into patties, dust with flour, dip in egg and coat in crispy panko breadcrumbs. Then pan fry until golden and crunchy on both sides.

Serve with a dollop of Beerenberg Tartare Sauce and a generous squeeze of lemon.

Simple, nourishing and so delicious!

This week at Box Divvy, zucchini is just $1.99/kg!

And there’s a good reason it’s so cheap: growers have too much of it. That means they’re the ones taking the hit.

So we’re doing what we reckon a food retailer should do when there’s an oversupply: drop the price, tell everyone about it and sell a shedload of zucchini!

Zucchini is an incredibly versatile vegetable. Here are a few of our favourite ways to use it:

• Moroccan Spiral Meatball Zucchini Bake
• Pea, Zucchini & Pesto Risoni
• Zucchini Fritters
• Sausage Rolls with Carrot, Zucchini & Apple
• Zucchini Tart with Basil & Mint
• Zucchini Slice
• Zucchini Soup
• Stuffed Zucchini with Oregano & Pine Nut Salsa

Help us support our growers, make the most of this incredible price and put zucchini on the menu all week.

$1.99/kg at Box Divvy this week. 💚
