The research is in, and greens powders can only do so much to redeem a poor diet void of fruits and vegetables. Eating plenty of fresh produce and leafy greens on a daily basis is a great habit to get into, especially at the beginning of a new year. If the turn of the calendar has spurred you to make some changes to your diet, consider gifting yourself a few minutes back on prep with a press vegetable chopper. One of the most popular options on Amazon is 40% off today and available for just $23.95.
While the process of piecing together a dish with ingredients can be rewarding, chopping vegetables is not the most gratifying step. It’s the tedious, but important, prep step that you muscle through before you get to the fun stuff — sautéeing, searing, and boiling, among others. It is important to do well, though, which typically means slicing an onion or bell pepper until you’ve got uniform pieces — a task that’s harder than it looks by hand. This is where a good chopper comes in.
This one from Fullstar comes with four different blades including a small dicer, a large dicer, a spiral blade, and a ribbon blade for creating vegetable noodles. The sandwich mechanism makes it easy to press down on the onion, pepper, or zucchini and use pressure to chop the entire vegetable in one go, versus spending 30-40 seconds doing it by hand.
It has a soft grip handle that lifts the hand away from the blades during use, and it comes with cleaning tools designed for its unique shape. It’s also dishwasher safe.
