Food for thought… About diets!🤔💭

More specifically, low-carb diets. Did you know that according to a study on 40 000 Melburians, low-carb diets increased the risk of developing diabetes by 20%?🤯

Now, this might surprise you, or not! Many people adopt these diets for weight loss and blood sugar control, which is good! But the result is often an increase of saturated fats and a lack of fiber which creates long-term issues when people decide to start on the diet journey. 😭

Saturated fats are often thought to be only in fast food, but they are in large amounts in meat, dairy and coconut products as well (yogurt, oil, cream, etc). So, removing carbs in diets often means replacing them by protein – profusely found in meat – and this is where the balance of low-carb diets gets thrown off. 🥩🍗🥛

And, let’s remember that high saturated fat intakes put people at risk of cholesterol, increasing risks for strokes and heart diseases. ❤️

The diet world is filled with confusion, everyone has a different take on it and tips to give everyone. The key? Variety. Eat the vedgies, but not just the vedgies. Allow yourself a treat, but maybe not every day. Go to that BBQ and eat that snag, but don’t forget the salad. 🌈

In French 🇫🇷, there’s an expression that says : Too much is like not enough. Too much dieting is unpleasant by all the restrictions and it adds difficulties to life without the questionable health benefits it can have with all the confused sources of information. But no thoughts about what you put in your body can also have dangerous repercussions on the body. 🤷‍♀️

All bodies are different, and take foods differently. Listen to it, give it what it needs and it’ll love you back. 🙉

And don’t forget that many fruits and vegetables are filled with good fibre for blood sugar control! And we know a good place to get your fix 😉👌🏼🤓

Wahooo it’s broad bean time! 🫛

Also called fava beans, these little nutritious gems are a great addition to soups, risotto, oven-fried for a crispy snack and 🥗(even let them shine in a salad by themselves – see the recipe in the comments!)👇🏼.

Rich in protein and fibre, they are a great way to add substance in a lunch or a salad. They will fill you up! 🤰🤤

The technique to prepare them is the following :
🫛Over a bowl., dig your thumb along the side to burst the pod open and run your thumb along, freeing the beans from the pod. Discard pods (comport if you can!)
🫛Boil beans for two minutes to blanch, and drain
🫛Put into icy water for a minute or two to stop further cooking.
🫛If you’d like, you can gently remove the outer layer of the beans to have a more delicate and creamy bean. It’s hard work, but it’s worth it!
🫛No time? You can still eat the outer skin without a problem, they are still delicious.

Available this week for 3.45$ for approximately 500g 👌🏼

Monday meal prep 🧑‍🍳🔪🥣

This week, it’s been busy here. 😮‍💨I felt like I need a bit of help and Belicious Foods came to the rescue! 😍👌🏼🙏🏼.

The spice mix was a no-brainer and a life saver and made 6 very generous portions of stew 🤩🥳. Must admit that I’ve tweaked the recipe a little bit adding mushrooms and doing some cooking prior to dumping it all in the crock pot, but you can make it as easy as you’d like. 🙃 Belicious makes all the magic!

15/09/2024

We’ve got a new range of oils! 👌🏼🎉

This is awesome! Different oils have different uses – When you consider smoke point and taste, no wonder we’ve got 5 types in our pantry! 😅

Plenty is a business in Queensland, in Kingaroy and offers 375ml bottles. We have the following in Marketplace:

✨Macadamia oil – Low heat tolerance/ Mild taste
✨Flaxseed oil – No heat tolerance (for dressings)/ Medium taste
✨Sunflower oil – High heat tolerance / Mild taste
✨Olive oil – Medium heat tolerance/ Strong taste
✨Peanut oil – High heat tolerance / Mild taste
✨Walnut oil – Low heat tolerance/ Medium taste
✨Safflower oil - High heat tolerance / Mild taste
(great replacement for canola – for frying)

🥑Avodado oil (high heat tolerance and low taste) will become available only at the end of the month, but until then, you’ve got Plenty to choose from! 😉

Box Divvy is committed to reducing its plastic usage by reducing the packaging of the produce to the minimum🌏. We have run a trial in some hubs in the past three weeks to collect soft plastics through RecycleSmart, and so far it’s been working pretty well! We are hoping to become a drop-off point in Barrack Heights in the future to help members discard their soft plastics in a sustainable way. 🙏

The problem with recycling soft plastics is that it’s quite complicated to recycle!🤯 Due to it’s nature, it doesn’t stand much heat. This makes it very hard to shred and reuse into other products, as the machinery to do the job creates heat. Some countries have decided to burn their plastics to create a source of energy, which is debatable when it comes to its impact on the environment. 🤔

RecycleSmart has some special equipment to process the plastics and partners up with Australian recyclers to make sure the process is as sustainable as possible. 👌They transform the plastics into something called “feedstock oil”, which is basically a substance reused by manufacturers to create more plastic packaging, which is still food grade! 🍫

Ultimately, plastic is now everywhere even with our efforts of recycling😥. The single-use plastics have somehow plagued our planet and even our bodies (the National Institutes of Health have found that their recent brain samples contain 0.5% plastic by weight – this is quite concerning)🤯. So, the best way to fight plastics is really not to use it at all. It’s quite a challenge in the world we are in now, but every little action counts! 🦸‍♀️

Saying no to plastic starts with the little things like the takeaway coffee cup – you can bring your own! – every little bit counts, because every little bit could end up in places we don’t want it to be.

Did you know? 🤔💭

Artichokes are one of the oldest foods known to human kind! 👵🏼They are mentioned in the Old Testament and their scientific name is Cynara scolymus, which reflects a Greek myth about Zeus turning Cynara, a mortal, into an artichoke. ☁️✨

Now, how do we eat this thing? 🤯 Our favorite way is the French “artichaut vinaigrette”, which is basically a the fancy way of saying “boiled artichoke that we dip into a Dijon dipping sauce”, usually eaten as an appetizer. 🇫🇷👌🏼

Simply boil the artichoke 15-30 minutes (until its stem is tender and easily poked with a knife) and drain, leaves pointing down. 🥣Whip up a quick dressing with lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil and apple cider vinegar and put in a little side bowl. When you can manipulate the artichoke (5-7 minutes), serve in a plate, pluck off the leaves of the bud and dip away! 🤤There’s an unedible part of the leaf; only the base will be tender and yummy. Discard hard parts of the leaves and pluck away until you reach the best : The delicious heart! 😃

The more you pluck, the more tender the leaves become. 👌🏼🤤

We are excited to have them this week!

Need a hands-off meal this week? 🫳🎤

Get yourself a pack of Belicious’ Irish Stew Spice mix. 🛒🤙🏼From her One Meal collection, Bel from Belicious has created a really nice recipe to make your evening meal a breeze. 😮‍💨Added to these spices, you’ll need:

🍺A Guinness beer (fear not, alcohol evaporates when cooked!)
🥩1 kg of beef chuck or other preferred cut of beef, cubed)
🧅Onion
🧄Garlic
🥕Carrot
🥬Celery
🥣Stock
🧂Salt
🍯Sugar

The recipe is on the packet, but essentially, it’s almost as easy as chuck everything in a slow cooker (searing your meat beforehand will make it x10 better), go on with your life and enjoy a delicious slow cooked meal at night! 🤤💃🏼

Summer squash is back ! 😎☀️

We’ve seen it, then blinked and it was gone! 🤯It’s back for 4.59$ a kilo so that’s good value! Make sure you don’t miss out this time and grab yours this week! 🛒

RECIPE IN THE COMMENTS BELOW 👇
A sweet, rare delicacy. 💎🤩✨

These are hard to find, but they are here. For now. ⏳🫣

Not many people know what to do with these. Neither did us before a few years ago when we met some Italians while we were doing some farm work in Queensland. ☀️🌸These fellows got the most excited I’ve ever seen men about flowers. They were explaining to us how delicious and great they were!

And they got cooking. 🧑‍🍳

With the music and the wine, and all their Italian ways.🍷🎶

And then, we ate these amazing stuffed zucchini flowers.🤯🌸

I understood the hype. 🥹

If you feel adventurous, I’d highly recommend you try! 🤩You won’t regret! The recipe in the comment is not the recipe my companions have created, I was too in awe to think about asking! 🫣But it will definitely be good enough to impress you and everyone who eats at your table.😃🤙🏼🧑‍🍳

02/09/2024

Cooking with broccoli leaves 🥦🤩🍽️

A few weeks ago, we were given a lot of leaves with our broccoli! 🥦😂 The stems have never been wasted in our house, but the amount of leaves we had with our broccoli was unheard of!

We got creative here and stuffed our leaves with a curried rice and sausage mix, and topped it with a warm cilantro sauce. 🎉

Served with roasted vegetables, it was a true hit! We love a good no-waste recipe, and love it when creativity spikes through our no-waste mission! 🌎

01/09/2024

Did you know?🤔

Mushrooms are one of the most sustainably produced foods on the planet🍄. One acre of land can render more than 450,000 kilograms of mushrooms! 😲 They also grow in the dark and use less water compared to other vegetables, which means they also use fewer resources than other vegetables! 🫶

The more you know! 👌🌏

30/08/2024

Product of the week 🤩✨: Brussel sprouts!

They were giant. So green. So fresh. The only thing wrong with them is that we forgot to order some! 🥹😅.

Hopefully members will enjoy them for us 🙏🏼 And don’t miss out on yours next week - 4.30$ for 500g (plus a few extras, let’s hide no secrets!) is a bargain!

'Poniatowski's Pork' isn't your average snag 🐷

It’s a proper culinary masterpiece that's now available for home delivery through Box Divvy!🤩

What makes this pork so special? It's all in the prep. ✨The best cut of pork loin with a layer of fat (yeah, the fat's crucial!) is soaked for a week in a mix of spices, then smoked for 5-6 hours over fruit wood. ⏳It's like prepping the perfect barbie steak, but with a royal Polish twist!🇵🇱

Now, here's the beauty of it – Poniatowski's Smoked Loin is a jack of all trades:

🍖Cold – perfect for sarnies or as a snack. Imagine having a picnic in the Botanic Gardens with a slice of this royal treat!

🍖Pan-fried – ripper for brekkie with eggs. Who says you can't eat like a king in the morning?

🍖On the barbie – give your mates a surprise at your next cookout. It's a fusion of Polish tradition and Aussie lifestyle!

Thanks to Box Divvy, this bit of Polish history is now just a click away. ✨It's not just tucker – it's a cultural experience that bridges 18th century Poland with modern-day Oz, showing how flavours and traditions can jump across time and distance.✨

Why not eat like a king👑, whether it's a lazy Sunday brekkie, a quick work lunch, or an arvo barbie with your mates?🤤

Now available in Marketplace under Meat ➡️ Pork for $12.35 per 500g pack.

Our new Polish sausages are more than “just” sausages. 🇵🇱🏠

Box Divvy has met up with the Magiers in northern Sydney and here’s what they had to say :

“The history of Polish smoked sausages runs deep” says Mariusz – ”forming an essential part of our culinary tradition. My family has been a part of this history since 1912 when my great-grandfather started making sausages in Lviv.

📖This tradition was carried on uninterrupted by my grandfather, even during the tough times of World War II. Under occupation, sausage production became not just a means of survival, but also a form of quiet resistance.
After the war, my father continued the tradition, and I grew up watching the production process, absorbing knowledge passed down through generations."

”The secret to our sausages is a careful selection of spices, blending tradition with innovation. The base is garlic, black pepper, and marjoram. We enhance the flavour with juniper, lovage, and wild garlic. Some recipes include nutmeg.

📖For smoking, I now use local Australian wood, but I also import apple and maple to recreate the aromas familiar from Poland. This blend gives our sausages a unique, complex smoky aroma.

We use a traditional drying method, giving the sausages their characteristic, slightly wrinkled skin.”

They are available in four flavours:
🌭Lovage Grill : The best choice for the grill. Has lovage, which is a spice that tastes between celery and anise.
🌭Tassie Bold: Select pork cuts with spices that are smoked, then heat treated and then dry-aged for three days.
🌭Tassie Slims: Made with pork shoulder and ham, and craked pepper.
🌭Poniatowski Smoked: The production for these takes two weeks! They re crafted with a preserved layer of fat for optimal juciness and cured for 6-8 days in a blend of spices and then finally, they are smoked.

These sausages are versatile: you can eat them cold – on a sandwich or on a cheeseboard 🧀– you can slice them into a hearty soup or a salad, pan-fry or barbecue. Because of the curing and smoking process, they will last in the fridge for weeks or even months! But they won’t last that long.🫣

You’ll find them in Chilled ➡️ Meat ➡️ Pork.

They are gluten free and have 15% off this week! Stock up during the sale! 👀

For a limited time only, a dream come true! 🥐🤩✨

We heard that Box Divvy regularly receives emails asking : “Can we pretty please range the Shepherd’s almond croissants? 🥹”

So, for a limited time only (this week and next), you can indulge on these gorgeous decadent croissants. ✨

They come in 4 flavours :
🥐Nutella
🥐Almond
🥐Apple & Walnut
🥐Pear, Rhubarb & Pistachio

They are available as a box of 4 croissants only, and can be found under Bakery ➡️ Cakes & Croissants. Prices range from $17 to $26 per box.

Magic hack trick 🪄: You can get them now and freeze them: according to Shepherds, they freeze well in the box. After thawing, put them in a 160 C oven for a few minutes. That way, you’ll still be loving them when they will disappear!🤩

14/08/2024

Mushrooms are cool. 🍄😎

And FungiCo’s mushrooms are even cooler. 🤩They grow their mushrooms in a disused train tunnel. 🤯 They have found how to grow the following types in the tunnel :
🍄Shiitake
🍄Oyster (in sevral colours, WHAAAT!)🤯
🍄Lion Mane
🍄Black Fungi
🍄Shimeji
🍄Enoki

For now, we have access to a 150g mixed portion of shiitake and yellow oyster mushrooms (5.90$) and we are hoping to be able to have more in the next months. 🙏🏼✨And, (our) best part here is that this mix comes in a 150g portion PLASTIC-FREE! 🌏Aussie-grown and plastic-free means that it’s good for you but also for the planet. Can this get any better?🤩

13/08/2024

Popcorn is this hubster’s favourite snack EVER. 🍿💛🤩

Why?

So glad you ask. 🎉Other than being the best emotional support in needed times;

🍿It’s customisable
🍿It’s crunchy
🍿It’s handy
🍿It’s SOOOO GOOD!

And it’s probably the healthiest snack out there (okay, I’ll give you that it might not be best without some delicious melted butter on there – or caramel – or dill seasoning)🤓. It has all the following in it:

🍿Vitamin B1
🍿Vitamin B3
🍿Vitamin B6
🍿Magnesium
🍿Phosphorus
🍿Potassium
🍿Zinc

And it contains twice as much fibre as multigrain bread! 🤩🍞

(Did we say to go easy on the butter?🤭)

We now have popcorn kernels for 2.45$ for a 500g bag. Sounds like it’s movie night this weekend! 🍿🎥

11/08/2024

Custard apples 🍏🤔. Have you tried one yet? 🤩

We are so excited that they have became available here! 🎉They are an amazing fruit to eat, just as it is. In Far North Queensland, when the season strikes you can find them fresh in all fruit markets. Here, let’s just say that it’s a precious time when you are able to find them. 🤩

We must admit, it’s not the most appealing fruit with it’s outer rough skin🐲. But it hides a beautiful, delicate white flesh in it’s inside. It smells and tastes slightly like vanilla, and we like to describe the taste as a creamy pear. It almost feels like a dessert when you get a good ripe one 🤤(which is when it tips blacken and it give in a little – like an avocado).

The best part? They are packed with nutrients! 🌈They are good sources of potassium, vitamin B6, magnesium and antioxydants. We are definitely getting some this week! The season is usually very short! ✨

Will you give it a try? 🙌🏼

Looking for a quick easy meal this week? 🤔Search no more!☝🏼

Spain is a fantastic country and do many things well including their architecture, dancing flamenco and being deeply passionate. 🇪🇸But one other incredible thing they also do is paella! Traditionally cooked in massive flat pans, each region of Spain has its own “real authentic” version. 🦐The most traditional versions have seafood in them, but no one will tell the Spanish if you whip it up with some chicken – it still tastes amazing! 🤤Here, we’ve always cooked a version with a marinara mix only – it makes it quick and easy!

Belicious Foods has came up with a new spice mix that will rock your socks. 🤯To get ready for an amazing meal, this mix suggests you get:

🍗500g chicken tenderloin or thigh filet
🧅 1 onion
💛1/2 cup EVOO
💛500g marinara mix
💛1 red capsicum
💛2 chorizo sausages
🍅4 tomatoes
🫛 1/2 cup peas
🍷 125ml or half cup white wine
🪴 Bunch of fresh parsley
🍚 2 cups medium grained rice
🍗Chicken stock (cube, powder or liquid)
🦐12 raw prawns
💛12 mussels
🍋A lemon

Buen provencho!

New chilled product: JUICES 🧃🍎🍊

The first best choice when it comes to juice is doing it at home, but then Eastcoast Beverages are not far behind, with their incredible freshness, amazing taste and no preservatives (hence that it must stay chilled)! 🥶They are a local (Kulnura on the Central Coast) family-owned business, 3rd generation of farmers who grow much of their own fruit in Kulnura.👨‍👩‍👦‍👦👩‍🌾��Did you know that juice – even freshly squeezed – will not deliver the same amount of nutrition as the whole fruit. 📉Along the way, it loses fibre, polyphenols and antioxidants. What’s more, it can contain high levels of (natural) sugar – around 5% - so don’t go overboard. 🤓Like all good things in life, drink in moderation!💃🏼��The range includes OJ and Cloudy Apple Juice (both in 400ml and 2L bottles), as well as the Jive range of fruit smoothies.🍎🍊✨

05/08/2024

Blood oranges are around this week! 🍊

First cultivated in Italy, these oranges are a variation or normal oranges and tend to be slightly sweeter than Nave variety. 🇮🇹They also contain anthocyanins, which gives the blueberries their blue color! 🤓

Grab some for a boost of vitamin C this week for 0.68$ each (2.72$ a kilo- that’s a deal considering they are 3.90$ in Woolworths at the moment!)☀️🍊🤩

Cooking with broccoli leaves 🥦🤩🍽️ A few weeks ago, we were given a lot of leaves with our broccoli! 🥦😂 The stems have never been wasted in our house, but the amount of leaves we had with our broccoli was unheard of! We got creative here and stuffed our leaves with a curried rice and sausage mix, and topped it with a warm cilantro sauce. 🎉 Served with roasted vegetables, it was a true hit! We love a good no-waste recipe, and love it when creativity spikes through our no-waste mission! 🌎 #boxdivvy #unsupermarket #buysharesave #freshfood #barrackheights #fruitandveg #coop #nowaste #sustainablecooking #nowastecooking #creativecooking #scrappycooking

Popcorn is this hubster’s favourite snack EVER. 🍿💛🤩 Why? So glad you ask. 🎉Other than being the best emotional support in needed times; 🍿It’s customisable 🍿It’s crunchy 🍿It’s handy 🍿It’s SOOOO GOOD! And it’s probably the healthiest snack out there (okay, I’ll give you that it might not be best without some delicious melted butter on there – or caramel – or dill seasoning)🤓. It has all the following in it: 🍿Vitamin B1 🍿Vitamin B3 🍿Vitamin B6 🍿Magnesium 🍿Phosphorus 🍿Potassium 🍿Zinc And it contains twice as much fibre as multigrain bread! 🤩🍞 (Did we say to go easy on the butter?🤭) We now have popcorn kernels for 2.45$ for a 500g bag. Sounds like it’s movie night this weekend! 🍿🎥 #boxdivvy #unsupermarket #buysharesave #freshfood #barrackheights #coop #popcorn #saveonsnacks #cutyourfoodbill

Beetroot greens are DELICIOUS!🥬🤤 If like me, you were wondering : “Why buy a bunch of beetroot”, I’m excited to tell you that after a taste test in my kitchen, those greens are delicious and I’ll buy a bunch again just for those tops! 🤩🤪 They have a delicate and nutty flavour. They don’t need much to be tasty! Just sauté them in some oil with garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice and you’ve got yourself a beautiful nutritious side for any meal. You can add a few nuts in there to add some interesting texture as well! 🥜 They are an excellent source of vitamins A, B6, C and K, as well as being rich in iron, potassium and magnesium, which can fight inflammation, support digestion and assists recovery when living an active lifestyle. 💃🏼 I might be late to this little nugget of knowledge in the kitchen, but I’m so excited I’ve discovered this! Are you late to the party as well or have you had this wisdom for a while? 🧘‍♀️💫 #boxdivvy #unsupermarket #buysharesave #freshfood #barrackheights #fruitandveg #coop #supportfarmers #cooking
