20.01.2022 We've tempted you with the cob loaf, here's the dip recipe! Halloween Food: Dip in Pumpkin Cob Recipe Shepherd's Pumpkin Cob Loaf 500g diced pumpkin (1cm cubes) 1 clove garlic, crushed... 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 tablespoons Greek or Natural (unsweetened yogurt) 2 tablespoons raw cashews Fresh coriander (2 tablespoons finely chopped + extra to serve) Salt and Pepper, Olive Oil Microwave pumpkin with a teaspoon of water for a few minutes, until par-cooked. In a large frypan over medium heat, fry garlic and cumin in olive oil for 1 minute, then add pumpkin. Fry until soft, then remove. Add pumpkin, cashews and the yogurt into a blender and whiz until it forms a thick dip consistency - not too pureed, a few chunks are nice! Add chopped coriander, salt and pepper to taste, and stir through with a spoon. Hollow out the Pumpkin Cob carefully (retaining the bread from inside for dipping) and bake lightly until crispy. Remove the cob from the oven, leave to cool until it's just warm and then gently pour and spoon in the dip. Decorate with a big sprig of coriander and serve on a platter with the lightly toasted bread chunks, plus vegetable sticks for dipping. #boxdivvy #rhodesllewellynhub #shepherdsartisanbakehouse #halloween See more

09.01.2022 Apricot prices are crashing, and it’s only week 2 You know it’s going to be a good apricot season when there’s this much supply this early in the season. Give them enough time to ripen and they’ll taste sensational. Did you know that apricots allegedly give you a long life expectancy? There are several stories of mountain villages across south-Asia from Kazakhstan to Pakistan where people regularly live to over 100 years, and attribute their long lives toapricots. A...pparently high levels of antioxidant as well as vitamin B17 in apricots has contributed to very low cancer rates, as well as better heart health. Not only apricots are getting cheap, peaches, nectarines and cherries are following suit. Cherries have been a little tricky these past 2 weeks, with some soft fruit hitting the market. We’re navigating the supply with appropriate care and have temporarily halted the 2kg box from Boosey until the quality improves. See more

06.01.2022 Bananas: the Case for Coffs Great fruit choices galore this week, starting with bananas: the warmer weather is bringing on bigger crops and lower prices. After selling around $2.50 for most of winter and spring, they have now dropped to under $2. That alone is a good reason for going big this week. But here are a few other considerations: 95% of Box Divvy bananas are sourced mainly from the Coffs region from Scotts Head to Woolgoolga and some from northern NSW around M...urwillumbah. Transport from Coffs (530kms from Sydney) uses about 80% fewer food miles compared with Queensland bananas, most of which are grown in Innesfail, south of Cairns Because of the more humid climate in North Qld, the crop requires a fair amount of ag chemicals fungicides and pesticides mainly to maintain their good looks. That is important, as the major supermarkets only buy Qld bananas and cosmetics are considered more important than flavour and nutrition. By contrast, Coffs bananas use little or no chemicals at all. What’s more: because it’s a little cooler than Qld, it takes an extra 1-2 months to bring the fruit to maturity. That makes the Coffs bananas noticeably sweeter. That said, they may not always win a beauty contest! Lower input and transport cost plus Box Divvy’s low-cost model mean they are consistently 30-40% cheaper than supermarket bananas What’s more: bananas are remarkably healthy. They provide lots of energy, but still have a lower GI (Glycaemic Index) than sweet potatoes and pumpkin. That means blood sugar rises only gradually after eating a banana. They’re also full of vitamin B6 important for the manufacture of red blood cells as well as potassium (good for brain development and maintaining healthy blood pressure) and fibre (including pectin, which can help prevent colon cancer). Did we mention they’re fat-free and cholesterol-free? Little wonder that bananas are Australia’s number one selling fruit! #reducefoodmiles #unsupermarket #boxdivvy #rhodesllewellynhub See more

01.01.2022 Kim and Laks Ung from Golden Fields in Wallacia are expecting a bumper crop of both green (also called: black) zucchini and grey (also called Lebanese) zucchini. There are not many grey zucchini growers and with low supply, they often sell over $6/Kg. In fact, in Harris Farm Online they’re currently $8.99 so anywhere below $4 is positively cheap! Lebanese zucchini are often stuffed with a mixture of rice, meat, dried fruit and herbs. They tend to stay firmer when baked ...in tomato sauce, whilst green zucchini tends to go a little soggy. They’re also sweeter and nuttier, whilst green zucchini is more neutral in flavour. At these prices, you can have both! See more
