WHAT'S YOUR SPROUT RATING?

How well do you really know your vegbox or better yet, what does it tell you about yourself?

We all have a different relationship with it - some of us embrace the vegbox with open arms. Others occasionally wonder why there are quite so many veggies once again in the compost.

Take our short (completely unscientific) Sprout Rating Quiz, inspired by "The Boxing Clever Cookbook" by Joan Wilmot and Jacqui Jones and discover where you sit on the vegetable spectrum! Find out what you're already doing brilliantly, where you are on your vegbox journey according to our Sprout Rating and discover creative ideas for taking your journey even further.

QUESTION 1
It's Tuesday evening and your veg box is still mostly untouched. What do you do?

Order a takeaway. I'll deal with the vegetables another day.

Feel slightly guilty, then move the box somewhere more visible.

Start thinking creatively about what can go in the freezer.

Look up a recipe, consider my options and make a plan.

Get cooking. What else would I possibly be doing with them?

QUESTION 2
You open the box and discover a particularly enormous vegetable. Your first thought is…

Can I swap this for something more normal?

Oh dear. What am I going to do with that?

That'll freeze.

I wonder what variety it is and how it's normally used?

YES. What a beauty. That's dinner.

QUESTION 3
How many vegetables from your last box are currently in your freezer?

None. I barely made it through the box.

A few. Don't ask me how old they are.

Quite a few. My freezer is basically a vegetable archive.

Some, carefully labelled and sensibly stored.

Freezer? Why? They're already eaten.

QUESTION 4
What best describes your relationship with your veg box?

We're still getting to know each other.

It's complicated.

I love it… when I'm on top of it.

It's an important part of how I eat.

It's one of the highlights of my week.

QUESTION 5
Someone tells you they've never had a veg box before. You…

Explain that supermarkets also sell organic vegetables.

Tell them about it enthusiastically, then remember your own pile of vegetables.

Explain the joys of freezing vegetables.

Start explaining the wider food and farming system.

Immediately tell them why they absolutely need one.

QUESTION 6
A restaurant menu has a £15 dish featuring vegetables you currently have at home.

£15? I'm having the restaurant meal.

Maybe I should use those vegetables… eventually.

I could probably recreate it with something from the freezer.

I wonder where their vegetables come from?

I could make that at home - and probably better.

QUESTION 7
Your box contains something you've never cooked before.

QUESTION 8
How do you feel when you finish the box before the next one arrives?

Relieved.

Proud… and slightly surprised.

Wait - there was food left in there?

Satisfied. Everything was put to good use.

Already looking forward to the next one.
