How do I prepare vegetables? Can I eat them raw?

The beauty of tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers is how versatile they are. You can eat them raw in a salad, or as pizza toppings, in a risotto, with wild rice, grilled over a BBQ… there’s no end to what you can do. Check out or recipes section to get started!

How can I tell a “good” green vegetable from one that’s spoiled?

Green vegetables will wilt after a couple days, especially if they’re unpackaged. You can revitalize them by soaking their stems in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. This does not always work; if your leafy greens still look droopy after soaking, go ahead and toss them. You can learn more in our Produce section.
