Row 7, a seed and vegetable company in New York's Hudson Valley, has launched a line of tinned vegetables packaged like fancy conserva-style fish. The $7.99 tins feature beets, tomatoes, and a garlic-leek hybrid, with the goal of elevating canned produce to charcuterie board-worthy status. The Good Housekeeping Institute's Kitchen & Cooking Lab team put the new veggies to the test, finding the tomatoes to be the standout while the beets and garlic-leek hybrid had room for improvement.

Why it matters

The tinned vegetable trend aims to bring canned produce into the realm of specialty foods, with a focus on visual appeal and unique flavor profiles. This reflects a broader consumer shift towards higher-quality, artisanal canned and jarred goods that can elevate home cooking and entertaining. However, the steep $7.99 price tag has some questioning whether the tinned format justifies the cost.

The details

Row 7's tinned vegetables come in three varieties: Sweet Prince Tomatoes, Sweet Garleek, and Badger Flame Beets. The tomatoes, packed in olive oil and red wine vinegar, were the standout with their soft, juicy texture and concentrated tomato flavor. The garlic-leek hybrid, dressed in Dijon and white balsamic, had a nice flavor but an unwieldy texture with too much of the tough green portion. The beets, also in olive oil and white balsamic, were a disappointment, with a dull color and off-tasting, greasy oil.

The takeaway

While the tinned format shows promise for elevating canned produce, the current Row 7 offerings have room for improvement. The tomatoes were the standout, but the beets and garlic-leek hybrid fell short. At $7.99 per tin, the price may be a barrier for some consumers, though the specialty packaging and flavors could appeal to those looking to upgrade their charcuterie boards and home cooking.
