Meal box subscriptions surged in 2019, boosting searches for versatile veggies like green asparagus and Chinese cabbage as home cooks explored creative uses beyond the box.
Notably, just three meat-heavy dishes appear: chili con carne (easily adaptable to vegetarian), beef bourguignon, and chicken curry. With sweet potato featuring twice, this reflects growing interest in plant-based eating. Intriguingly, soups are absent—perhaps due to familiar techniques, ready supermarket packs, or a preference for canned convenience.
