All of us at Greenling love to grub. Some of us are vegans, others are carnivores but one thing that we all have in common is how eating out of the local box has changed our relationship with food. We are not only cooking more, we are also learning about where our food comes from and expanding our palate. So for this week, I challenge you to something new or learn to appreciate the delicacies of a certain food. Maybe eat a meatless burger? Or a new fruit?
