Herbal Supplements

The Delivery: Vegetarian “Healthy Gut” herbal supplements from Kroeger Herb Products Co. Inc.
Staff Pick: The herbal supplements

The DL: Herbal supplements can aid a poor diet, but nothing impacts health like eating plates full of nutrient-rich veggies, whole grains, fruits, legumes, and other whole foods. In fact, unexpected foods like taro root and dark leafy greens contain important cancer-fighting properties, in addition to other crucial nutrients.

Eat Your Veggies

Date: Wednesday, October 29

The Delivery: A box full of vegetable-based recipes and two books
Staff Pick: The Vegetable Box is a cute idea giving advice on how to use all those vegetables stored in your fridge 

The DL: Some of us here were a bit baffled when we received this box with cardboard cut-outs of vegetables sticking out of it. Turns out to be a unique recipe file. Who'd have guessed? Unfortunately, some recipes call for eggs and cheese, which is a bit unnecessary if you ask us. Who needs cheese when you have all the wonderful flavors from your garden?
