organic vegetable boxes
Worst thing in your box of vegetables?
Have you joined a vegetable box scheme, where you have vegetables (usually organic), dlievered time to time? Whats worse vegetables you sometimes find in there? You know, theres always one. If you look at it, not knowing what do with it, and I think ... yeah, thats never gonna get used. Mine is probably kohl rabi, or beetroot
I suppose you want something like a CSA or co-op? I had a baby corn in mine last week, which was impressive. (Baby corn is Not like an Asian stir-fry or whatever, but it is a different variety of corn that looks like 01/03 to 01/02 the size of a normal ear. He was so kind and sweet.) As for the worst, it's usually just things I've never liked, such as asparagus, cabbage, watermelon, etc. If it's something weird that I've never had before, I'll just find uses for it and try. For the things I dislike, I have to give to family or friends who love them. I'm not a big fan of kohlrabi, but I'll use it if I get it. Beets are very good. How can you not like them? 
I always hated them as a kid because the only way that my mother was always prepared marinated (gag). But I have tried the first time when I was older, and they are so good. I love raw grated or diced / sliced to sandwiches or salads. The only way I like them cooked is whether they are roasted with other vegetables.
