Abusy schedule can make eating healthily difficult – sometimes impossible – which is why this month we’re in love with Munching Mongoose. This Gauteng-based service sources mouth-watering Farmer’s Market vegetables and brings them right to your door.
The way this service works is dead simple. You head over to Munching Mongoose’s site (https://www.munchingmongoose. co.za) and choose the delivery option that most suits you; there are five to choose from ranging from Mini Boxes, to Low Carb Boxes, to No Veg Boxes, for those who are just after artisanal bread, free range eggs, boutique chocolates and a selection of gourmet cheeses. Customers can even customise their orders, adding items from different boxes to their own if it’s not already included. Once that’s done, you simply set up an account; enter payment details and a delivery address (Munching Mongoose delivers to different areas on different days, so you can mark a window so you don’t miss your box) and select how many boxes you’d like a month.
What sets Munching Mongoose apart from a lot of similar services is its network of food providers and its transparency. The company has partnered with local producers of organic food from some unlikely places – from reclaimed parks and bowling greens that have been converted to inner city organic gardens, to small farmers in Muldersdrift, to artisanal food producers in the suburbs – and it’s quite happy to reveal the source of all of its food. So when you’re ordering a Munching Moose Box, you’re not only eating healthier, you’re supporting the small, local farming industry. Eat better and feel better about yourself.
