First cultivated in Mexico thousands of years ago, today corn is a staple in cuisines worldwide. It is the second-largest crop in the world, second only to sugar cane. Starchy and sweet, corn pairs well with peas and carrots.
Often thought of as a starchy vegetable, corn kernels are botanically considered a fruit, and are considered by nutritionists to be a whole grain(1). Studies show corn may support healthy digestive, cellular, and heart function. Sweet yellow corn is also high in carotenoids, which may support long-term eye health.

Broccoli
Broccoli belongs to the family of cabbage and is an edible flowering plant. It is very low in calories and hence a good choice for those on diets. Broccoli is one of the most common vegetables in the world, it originated from wild mustard. Mediterranean farmers bred the mildly bitter cruciferous to be the thick, satisfyingly crunchy vegetable we know today. The grassy, slightly bitter flavor of broccoli pairs well with garlic and lemon peel.
Broccoli is exceptionally high in bone-supportive vitamin K and has as much immune-supporting vitamin C as an orange.1 It’s also rich in antioxidants, which benefit a healthy inflammation response. 2 Prebiotics such as broccoli are growing in popularity as their relationship with probiotics is becoming more widely understood in digestive health and immune support.
French Beans
French green beans, also called Haricots Verts, tend to be smaller, more tender, and quicker to cook than a standard green bean. Their seeds are so small that they're almost unnoticeable. For these reasons, French green beans are generally considered the best green beans to buy, and they're priced accordingly. They take well to quick cooking methods such as blanching or sauteing.
Snow Peas
Snow peas are a small to medium-sized varietal, averaging 5 to 8 centimeters in length, and the pods have a flat, straight, oblong shape with tapered, pointed ends. Each yellow-green to bright green pod may contain up to 7 peas, and the pale green peas are tiny, flattened, round, to oval in shape. Before consumption, there is a fibrous string that extends the length of the pod that should be peeled and discarded. Snow peas can be used fresh or cooked and have a tender, crisp, and slightly chewy consistency. Both the pods and peas are edible, as the pods contain less inedible fiber than other pea varieties, creating a softer mouthfeel. Snow peas have a mild, subtly sweet taste with grassy, bright, and vegetal nuances.
Sugar Snap
Sugar snap peas, also known as snap peas, are a variety of peas cultivated for their crisp exterior and sweet pea interior. Early varieties of the plant originated in Europe and Asia. This particular pea was cultivated in the 1970s as a perfect cross of snow and garden peas, with a refreshing blend of crunchy, and sweet. This legume lends a sweet and pleasantly “green” or vegetal flavor to dishes. They are a type of pea that can be eaten while still in its pod. Both the peas and the pod are edible and they don’t need to be cooked. The plants are climbing plants and can grow as tall as two metres. They're a good source of vitamin C and manganese.
