PEPPERS

Right Foods Pairing: Spicy Kung Pao Noodles

The classic! Peppers can be grown side-by-side with tomatoes as well as eggplants because they have similar growing requirements. They all prefer full sun, rich soil and consistent deep watering – so your outdoor garden will be the perfect spot to start growing!

We use bell peppers as one of our ingredients in Spicy Kung Pao Noodles, so these would be the perfect snack while you’re growing your pepper paradise.

BEANS

Right Foods Pairing: Black Bean & Lime Soup

Ok, we might be tooting our own horn on this one – but how can we not include our Black Bean & Lime Soup? It’s packed with 12g of fiber and 9g of plant-based protein per serving that will keep you powered up throughout your day. Pus, they’re made with black beans, a super easy garden project for the heat!

Beans replenish soil with nitrogen and grow up instead of out, so space generally isn’t an issue with planting these guys! Plant from seed directly sowed in the garden or transplant from starts once soil temperature has warmed to at last 60 degrees for the perfect addition to your garden!

SHALLOTS

Right Foods Pairing: Asian Pad Thai Noodle Soup

Besides being super easy to grow, shallots are the best veggie to add to any bowl to give it that extra kick of flavor. Separate the bulbs into sets an plant separately and plant in full sun and loose soil. We’d pair these with our Asian Pad Thai Noodle Soup since we make the flavor packet with shallots included! These noodles are also organic, baked and are only 220 calories – a total win-win summer treat.

SOUTHERN PEAS

Right Foods Pairing: Split Pea Soup Cup

Nothing makes a table at a summer BBQ quite complete like peas! And lucky for you, we pack our Split Pea Soup Cup with organic peas, carrots and onion and garlic flavorings for the perfect summer meal! These bad boys need full sun and well-drained soil.

Make sure to keep the soil moist, and water at the base instead of overhead! This ensures small pods won’t fall off.
