Beetroot and Coconut Curry – Organic Unboxed Challenge

April 17, 2016 / Niki / 4 Comments

I was so excited to recieve my Organic Unboxed box last week  as part of a great campaign to raise awareness of eating organic. I’m passionate about eating organic whenever possible so I jumped at the chance participate in the challenge!
My box contained a huge variety of organic goodies; veggie staples such was onions, garlic, leeks and beetroots, organic spelt flour, brown rice, stock, olive oil, pasta, and even some amazing organic gin.
So the challenge; create a delicious meal out of the mystery goodies… I was totally up for the challenge!
I immediately decided to create a beetroot curry, which combines my love of curry and my love to beetroot. And the result is a gloriously red and delicious beetroot and coconut curry served with organic sesame rice and crunchy toasted nuts. It tasted heavenly…

Check out the wonderful contents of my Unboxed box!

And just a few reasons to eat organic (apart from the fact that it tastes great!);

  • Organic crops are exposed to fewer pesticides
  • Organic farming is great for farmers and more environmentally friendly
  • Recent research has shown that organic crops are up to 60% higher in a number of key antioxidants
  • Organic may sometimes cost a little bit more, but the benefits make it totally worth it!

    I absolutely agree that eating organic is vital for your health. Less chemicals, less pesticides, the better! I never would have thought of putting beetroot in a curry, but I think that is so unique and so creative! The beetroot lends this gorgeous, gorgeous color that you wouldn’t find in any other curry!
