Tinned Vegetables Trio

“I'm really struggling with these! Obviously, I am obsessed with them and want to keep cases in stock at all times. They are my dream product. Like actually if someone asked me "what do you dream about?" I would say beautifully preserved vegetables bred and grown for flavor! However something about them rubs me the wrong way. Luxury canned vegetables in this economy feels a little too Marie Antoinette, a little too tone deaf. Stay tuned as I continue to parse my intense feelings about them.”

“Love or hate Chef Dan Barber, he does a lot to shift culture. With the once-humble pantry staple of tinned fish becoming the it appetizer (thanks to Fishwife and their graphic design gods), it seems Barber saw an opportunity to step in with a more sustainable option: plants. Row 7’s new tinned veggies are as delicious as their packaging lets on, especially the tomatoes. The stringy garlicky leeks are a little hard to maneuver on toasted bread — I recommend cutting them up a bit first — but hallelujah to the whole trio, which includes beets. It’s yum, it’s fun, and it doesn’t leave plastic fishing lines hanging out in the ocean!”

“Never tried this but elevated canned vegetables sounds like a picnic waiting to happen!”

“Canned vegetables in a beautifully designed package.”
