Carb Conscious Farm Box
Our Carb Conscious Farm Box is designed to reduce the amount of simple carbohydrates eaten (e.g. bread, potato, etc.) and increase consumption of complex carbohydrates, like those found in fiber rich fruits and vegetables. Complex carbohydrates digest more slowly helping you feel full for longer, and can actually help manage blood sugar levels and cholesterol.
So enjoy carbs in your meals - just become more conscious of the quality of them and how they impact your health and weight loss.
The Carb Conscious Farm Box contains 10-12 types of in-season fruit and vegetables (approx. 16-18 individual daily servings recommended by USDA), fresh herbs, and an optional choice of protein (i.e. chicken, pork or beef). Fresh fruit and vegetables are the foundation of a healthy diet. We believe that locally sourced, U.S. grown in-season fruit and vegetables are the most nutritious and flavorful. That's why we picked the freshest seasonal produce for our Carb Conscious Farm Box.
