Tinned fish has officially earned its spot on the cool-kid charcuterie board, whether it's stacked on crusty bread or draped in good olive oil and arranged like a still life. But if you’re looking for a plant-based option that delivers the same vibe (and just as much flavor), there’s a new contender worth cracking open.
Row 7 Seed Company’s new line of tinned vegetables is a trio of chef-driven, ready-to-eat produce — bred, grown and cooked for maximum flavor, then packed in beautifully designed tins that feel just as board-worthy as your favorite conservas. Founded by chef Dan Barber along with seed breeder Michael Mazourek and seed company founder Matthew Goldfarb, Row 7 focuses on flavor-first produce.
What are Row 7's tinned vegetables?
Open one of these tins, and it’s immediately clear that these aren't your average canned vegetables. The produce is glossy, vibrant and already dressed. Like the best tinned fish, these products are designed to be eaten without any extra prep. Each one is thoughtfully seasoned with oil, vinegar or mustard to create something that feels finished and honors the produce and those that created it.
The tins come in three varieties:
- Sweet Prince Tomatoes: Jammy, sweet and deeply savory, these taste like peak-season tomatoes that have been slow-roasted and concentrated. Spoon them onto toast and let the oil soak in.
- Sweet Garleek: A garlic-leek hybrid cooked confit-style with a bright, tangy edge. Rich, mellow and dangerously snackable straight from the tin.
- Badger Flame Beets: Golden, tender and gently sweet, with none of that overly earthy bite. They come already dressed and ready to slide onto a board.

How to use Row 7's tinned vegetables:
If you love the look and ease of tinned fish but want something a little different (or fully plant-based), this is your move. Pop a tin, build a board and enjoy, or try serving them in different ways:
- Pile onto toasted bread or crackers with a swipe of ricotta or butter
- Toss with cooked pasta or chop and stir into risotto
- Add to a board alongside cheeses, olives and nuts for a plant-forward spread
- Use the oils and vinaigrettes in the tin as built-in dressings
- Mix and match across a board for color, texture and contrast
Where can you find Row 7 tinned vegetables?
You can order three-packs of each invidual flavor or a sampler trio that includes all three varieties, online or at Whole Foods Market locations across the Northeast.
