Nutrient Dense

At The Chef’s Garden nutrition goes hand-in-hand with flavorful, quality vegetables. It is so important that in 2019, we opened an on-site agricultural research facility. We study how to maximize the flavor, color and nutrition of our vegetables in order to bring the highest quality to your door. 

As a result of our regenerative farming practices, we have found that our products can contain up to 200 to 500% more mineral content than the USDA average! Learn more about our Health and Wellness initiatives.

We are so excited to share with you our new “Eat the Rainbow” box, which is not only filled with beautiful regeneratively grown seasonal vegetables that represent each of the colors of the rainbow but is also full of phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and more!

There is nothing more beautiful (and Instagramable) than a box full of vibrant colorful vegetables just harvested and delivered right to your door! There is unlimited potential to be creative in the kitchen with this box. Create colorful salads, wraps, bowls, stir fry, and other plant-forward meals that will be packed with color and plant-produced compounds (also known as phytonutrients). 

Phytonutrients are a big part of what makes vegetables beautiful and healthy! Phytonutrients have many potential functions in a plant, two of which are imparting color and flavor. Phytonutrients are considered non-nutritive, meaning they don’t have any caloric value but they have a ton of value when it comes to health.  There are over 8,000 identified phytonutrients, and each plant has several hundred, making vegetables a preferred source of phytonutrients over a supplement that may contain only one or two single phytonutrient extracts. 

People who consume more phytonutrients have been shown to be less likely to experience cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and diabetes as well as other conditions.  Eating a wide array of phytonutrients is also a great way to support a healthy immune system and mood.

This box is a delicious, creative, sensory eating experience delivered right to your door.

Every month the ingredients in the box will change so you can experience the colors and benefits of the season. Each box will also include a specialty item grown or created right here on the farm.

Phytonutrients

What makes plants so colorful? It’s all about the phytonutrients! Phytonutrients (aka phytochemicals) are compounds produced by plants to help protect them from disease, sun damage, and predators like insects. Phytonutrients are what give plants their unique colors, smells, and tastes. Many phytonutrients have antioxidant properties, which means they help to protect our cells from damage. Studies show that people who eat more plant foods have a reduced risk of chronic diseases and enjoy better brain health and lower inflammation. 

Biodiversity 

Eating the rainbow is not only beneficial for your health, but it’s also good for the planet. Eating a wide range of differently colored vegetables promotes biodiversity. Although there are over 40,000 different edible species on Earth, it’s estimated that 75% of our food supply comes from just 12 species of plants and animals. This lack of diversity limits the number of phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals that we’re consuming, not to mention that it is so much more fun to experiment with different vegetables! 

Color, Mood, and Food

Including all of the tastes (sweet, salty, sour, spicy, bitter, astringent) ensures that you’re getting a variety of nutrients and supports healthy digestion. Our brains have evolved to associate color with taste: the more color you include, the more different tastes will be included in your meal. Even better—the more vibrant the color, the more flavorful the vegetable!

Colors also have measurable effects on health and mood, including influencing blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and sleep as well as helping us to experience feelings such as being relaxed, energetic, or happy. For example, we often associate orange and yellow with happiness, hope, and optimism and also associate orange and yellow foods with sweetness (think sweet corn, sweet potatoes, etc). When we think of green, we often associate it with health and nature. Green foods often have more of a bitter flavor (think dandelion, chicory, and other spring greens), which is partially from their higher calcium content and how genetics influence your taste perception as well as phytochemicals (like glucosinolates). 

Do you experience the mid-afternoon crash? Stabilizing blood sugar by eating a variety of colorful vegetables helps avoid this mid-afternoon slump and avoids the need to turn to sweets or caffeine. 

Eating the rainbow of vegetables also can reduce symptoms of “brain fog” by providing antioxidants (like luteolin) that reduce inflammation and vitamins B9, C, E, and the minerals selenium, magnesium, and zinc, which all help your brain function. 

Simply switching from the standard American diet (which is high in processed foods and low in whole plant-based foods) to a Mediterranean style of eating, which includes a more diverse array of colorful fruits and vegetables, unprocessed grains, nuts, and fish was shown to reduce depression by 25-35%. 

If you’re an inquisitive foodie with a passion for gourmet food—high quality ingredients with a unique twist—then this box of regeneratively grown, farm fresh vegetables is ideal. Used by top chefs and high-end restaurants across the country and beyond, this truly is a farm-to-table treasure—perfect for your family meals or as a gift for the discerning people on your list. Plus, you can find flavorful gourmet vegetable recipes here.

High quality ingredients, gourmet food with a unique twist. What exactly do we mean by that?

First, “gourmet” can refer to people with refined taste in their food. If that’s you, then this box is just what you need! “Gourmet” can also focus on the food, meaning something prepared with precision—and here’s the beauty of it all. With our farm-fresh ingredients, whether you enjoy them raw as part of elegant hors d'oeuvre or as an ingredient in your artfully designed haute cuisine—they’ve been grown with great care (“prepared”) through regenerative farming techniques. 

We treat our soil like a treasured crop, building it up with love. Why do we go that extra mile? 

Healthy soil leads to healthy crops that are flavorful and nutritious. That’s why we say: Healthy Soil. Healthy Crops. Health People. Healthy Planet. 

Our gourmet vegetable box contains seasonal crops, freshly harvested at the peak of flavor and nutrition. To see what’s included in your box, just click on the vegetable tab on this page. 

No matter what’s included, independent testing has shown how our crops have up to 500% more mineral content than the USDA baseline—and we can confidently say that our flavor is off the charts.

The beauty of salads, Chef Jamie Simpson from the Culinary Vegetable Institute shares, is that the farmer has already done nearly all the work for you. When enjoying fresh salad ingredients that were regeneratively farmed and harvested at the peak of ripeness with love at The Chef’s Garden, you benefit from the maximum in flavor and nutrition. Salads can serve as a mouth-watering main entrée or the perfect side dish, and you can add different seasonal ingredients each time to make your salad a uniquely wonderful taste experience. 

They are a perfect prep ahead meal to take to work or school. You can also use salad greens to stretch leftovers into a filling and nourishing meal. 

Salads are packed with phytonutrients (including antioxidants), vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are a great way to increase your intake of vitamins A,C,E, folate, and K and to support a healthy gut microbiome. The high fiber and lower carbohydrate content of this nutrient dense box may help to stabilize blood sugar following a meal and our bitter greens may help to improve digestion by stimulating your own digestive juices.  

To retain the most nutrients from these vegetables it is best to eat them raw, blanched, or lightly sauteed.

Exactly what’s included in each of our salad boxes will vary by season, but they’ll always be perfectly curated with just the right amount of farm fresh greens and other veggies. 

This box contains vegetables for two for approximately one week.

We study how to maximize the flavor, color, and nutrition of our vegetables in order to bring the highest quality to your door. And, as a result of our regenerative farming practices, we have found that our products often contain more minerals than the USDA average!  . 

Bull’s blood micro greens and beets contain betanin which increases the action of NrF2, helping the body to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. They contain polyphenols (like you hear about in wine) and Vitamin C to combat oxidative stress. Beets are a good source of nitrates which have been shown to support exercise performance and cardiovascular health. Whole beets are a good source of fiber which helps to support healthy digestion and cholesterol. 

Watercress is ranked #1 on the CDC’s list of Powerhouse Fruits and Vegetables because it is super nutrient-dense containing 100% of the DV of Vitamin K, 25% of the DV of Vitamin A, and 25% of the DV of Vitamin C in just one cup.  Remember to optimally absorb Vitamins A and K (fat-soluble vitamins) enjoy your watercress with a good quality high polyphenol olive oil. 

Nitrates from greens have been shown to support healthy blood vessel function and blood flow. The nitrates in greens and other nitrate-containing vegetables are actually broken down by the bacteria in your mouth and the acid in your stomach then converted to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps promote healthy circulation by relaxing the blood vessels which increases the amount of blood that’s able to flow through (this is also important for brain health). Having optimal levels of nitric oxide in your body may help to reduce elevated blood pressure and improve one’s ability to exercise. As we age, studies have shown the amount of nitric oxide in the body tends to decrease. However, eating just a cup of raw or ½ cup of cooked high nitrate vegetables daily may help to improve your nitric oxide levels naturally. 

Spinach is a great source of magnesium which is essential to muscle and nerve function, energy production, blood sugar balance, and healthy blood pressure. It also is a good source of potassium which is important because studies have found that individuals with higher potassium intakes from their diet may benefit from lower blood pressure. Just 1⁄2 cup of cooked spinach contains approximately 80 mg of magnesium and 2 cups of raw spinach contain approximately 330 mg of potassium. 

Cruciferous vegetables, such as watercress, broccoli sprouts, kale, and radish greens contain sulforaphane, which is a sulfur-rich compound that has been shown to provide a number of health benefits. Potential benefits include anticancer properties, boost heart health, and support in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Click here to read more about sulforaphane and its healthy properties. 

Allicin is one of the active components in garlic that studies indicate may modestly reduce cholesterol (specifically triglycerides by 6-22%) and blood pressure.  Allicin is activated when garlic is cut or crushed and exposed to water. To get the most cardiovascular benefit from your garlic before using it, rinse it with water, then cut/crush/chop and let sit for 5-10 minutes so that the enzymes in the garlic can work their magic to fully activate the allicin. The most wonderful thing about our garlic is that it does not need to be peeled and you can even enjoy the roots! 

Each month this box will either contain purslane or watercress. 

Watercress is ranked #1 on the CDC’s powerhouse list of fruits and vegetables because it is packed full of vitamins and minerals. Watercress is easy to incorporate into salads, wraps, or anywhere that you would like a mild peppery flavor. 

Purslane is referred to as the “salmon of the plant world” because of its high content of alpha-linolenic acid, a form of omega-3. One hundred grams of fresh purslane leaves (one serving) contain about 300-400 mg of omega-3s; 12 mg of Vitamin E; 25 mg of Vitamin C; 2 mg of beta-carotene; and 15 mg of glutathione. Purslane is excellent consumed fresh with its succulent leaves that are crisp and hydrating or used as a “pot herb” when making a stew or soup to add extra nutrients.

This beautiful tea is blended for both enjoyment and wellness. Black tea is a good source of flavonoids and studies have found that when tea is consumed regularly it may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Hibiscus contains polyphenols and anthocyanins that are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects as well as potentially blood pressure lowering effects which may help to protect blood vessels.

Beets in the tea contain polyphenols (like you hear about in wine) and Vitamin C to combat oxidative stress. Beets are a good source of nitrates which have been shown to support exercise performance and cardiovascular health.

Cocoa nibs are a good source of potassium, theobromine, and flavonoids which may help to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.

The complexity and healing power of vegetables can not be underestimated. That’s why we created the Powerhouse Vegetable Box. This box features vegetables from the CDC Powerhouse Vegetable list that are known to be high in vitamins and minerals which support health.

Nutrient Dense

Your box will include a variety of Powerhouse, nutrient-dense vegetables, depending on the season, to help reduce the risk of chronic disease. As a result of our regenerative farming practices, we have found that our products often contain more minerals than the USDA average!  The vegetables in this specially curated box are rich in potassium, fiber, protein, calcium, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, zinc, and vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, and K.

Green leafy vegetables are full of vitamins (A, B vitamins (including folate), C,E,K) and minerals (Mg, K, Ca) and are low on the glycemic index. Green leafy vegetables are also a source of nitrates which when eaten over time may help reduce blood pressure. They also contain antioxidants (ex. carotenoids) which contribute to their benefits for cancer prevention. Studies have shown consuming 2 to 3 servings of green leafy vegetables per week may reduce the risk of stomach, skin, and breast cancer.

Orange vegetables (like carrots, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes) are a good source of Vitamin A (beta-carotene) and can help reduce inflammation, support brain health, eye health, immune health, and reproductive health. Cooking many orange vegetables along with adding fat such as high polyphenol olive oil, pasture-raised butter, or coconut oil increases the amount of beta-carotene that your body can absorb. Yellow vegetables (like summer squash and yellow peppers) are anti-inflammatory and may help with reducing inflammation, and promoting eye, immune, and heart health. 

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, bok choy, and cabbage contain sulforaphane, which is a sulfur-rich compound that has been shown to provide a number of health benefits. Potential benefits include anticancer properties, heart health, and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Click here to read more about sulforaphane and its healthy properties.

Green tea contains a polyphenol known as EGCG which when consumed regularly may reduce inflammation in the digestive tract.

Tartary buckwheat is a flower (not a grain, so does not contain gluten) that is used as a cover crop to help improve the quality of the soil. Tartary buckwheat is nutrient-dense and is packed with 100+ different phytonutrients, including those that help improve the immune response (and 70% of the immune system is located in the gut), and may reduce cellular aging.

Brew 1 Tbsp of tea per Cup (8 fl oz.) of water at 200ºf for 2 minutes and strain

Nutrients

To support digestive health, this specially curated box contains a variety of vegetables that are good sources of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and fiber.

Fiber is often underappreciated but is vital to digestive health. There are many ways to categorize fiber starting with dietary fiber and functional fiber. Dietary fiber is naturally found in food and functional fiber is extracted then isolated from whole foods, then added to processed foods. At The Chef's Garden we enjoy eating and farming in harmony with nature and prefer eating our dietary fiber straight from the source along with all of the vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that work together to nourish the body.

Soluble fiber dissolves in water, slows down digestion (so that more nutrients can be absorbed), and forms a gel (think of chia pudding). Soluble fiber also has the superpower of being able to be fermented by microbes in the digestive tract. This fermentation can cause gas, so we recommend starting with small amounts and working your way up if you do not typically consume fiber-rich foods. Soluble fibers are also sometimes referred to as “prebiotic” fibers, meaning that they feed the microbes in the digestive tract (by fermentation). As a result of the microbes fermenting prebiotic fiber they form short-chain fatty acids which provide energy for the cells lining the colon as well as other beneficial functions. Soluble fiber may help reduce cholesterol and blood sugar. Examples of vegetables that contain soluble fiber include asparagus, brussels sprouts, garlic, onions, and carrots.

Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water but may help increase the speed of elimination by adding bulk to the stool and may help improve insulin sensitivity. Insoluble fibers are structural fibers in plants that humans cannot digest and most of these fibers are not fermentable by microbes in the digestive tract. Examples of vegetables that contain insoluble fiber include cauliflower, celery, parsnips, green beans and peas, potatoes, and dark leafy greens.

Our vegetables are often more nutrient-dense than the USDA average and this box contains vegetables that help support GI health by providing vitamins A, B vitamins (such as folate), C, and E and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc.

At The Chef's Garden we know that healthy soil is the key to healthy plants which in turn nourish and support the health of people. Our vegetables are grown in microbially rich and diverse soil using regenerative farming practices.
