Gourmet Food Subscription Box

We are the first online gourmet food store that provides a monthly subscription box service. During the first week of every month we launch a new gourmet box curated specially for food lovers who wish to taste, try, sample and eat delicious and new world foods. The Monthly box contains goodies & recipe ideas. It is a great gift to give and receive for food lovers. Gourmet Food delivery.

MRP: Rs.1500/- per month for the big gourmet box and Rs.700/- for the little gourmet box.

I am reviewing this month’s The Big Gourmet Box today.

About the box: This month’s box is filled with the superheroes of the food world – Superfoods . You’ve heard the word countless times but should you really include them in your daily diet? Yes! These foods are calorie sparse and nutrient dense; meaning they pack a lot of punch for their weight as far as goodness goes. They are superior sources of anti-oxidants and essential nutrients making them the intelligent choice. Meet the ordinary foods with extraordinary abilities.

Our Heros!

  • ProAgri Black Chia Seeds
  • Satvikk Dried Goji Berries
  • i2cook Organic Coconut Sugar
  • The Green Snack Co. Kale Chips

The box is a huge one, they generally have 4 to 6 products every month in the big box along with a recipe and product information card. This month it has a granola bar recipe which can be made with all the items in the box.

It was well bubble wrapped and all the individual items in it were also well packed.

I was really keen on trying the The Green Snack Co. Kale Chips, they are not baked, not fried and this one is Cheese and Onion Flavour. There are 2 other flavours it is available: Thai Sweet Chilli and Sea Salt and Vinegar, would love to try those too. In Cheese and Onion, the onion taste overpowers the Cheese.

Dried Goji Berries make a nice snack, something to munch on, in between and also a good addition to granola bars or parfait or the likes. Black Chia seeds are very, very healthy and perfect to top on so many dishes. You get all your iron and calcium content here.

If you are on diet or have a diabetes issue, you can try out the i2cook Organic Coconut Sugar which is natural, healthy and unprocessed. It can be added to any dish for that hint of sweetness plus a coconut tinge.

I love the fact that we have something like The Gourmet Box in India where all the natural, exotic stuff is available at the click of your finger and you get it delivered at the comfort of your home. We always had this issue, of not able to find half the ingredients we need in a dish in India easily. Well, now we can! Just looking at the exotic list of items they stock, makes me want to buy the whole site.

Coming to the box, the total cost of these 4 items included in the box is Rs.1115/- whereas the cost at which the box is sold is Rs.1500/- They also have a ‘make your own gourmet box’ option where in you can include the products you want in the box, and the box itself costs Rs.300/- This is something which I found a little costly. I did not get why the cost of the box should be so high and included in the total cost. This box would have done amazingly well if priced at Rs.999/- or even Rs.1099/-, coz I can always go and order these 4 items individually, right? Why would I even need the box which costs Rs.300/-, of course if you want to gift it to someone, then its fine.

Other than that, I think the concept is nice, and I am going to shop a few items soon from the site, but individually, of course. Overall, I would say, I loved the website and the items they stock. I loved the box as such, but not very happy with the pricing. I hope they lower the price, and there would many more subscribers. The quarterly and 6 month subscriptions are at a discount though, but still nothing covers the huge premium of the box.

What do you think of The Gourmet Box? Have you tried any such subscription before?
