This week’s Boxes

With the weather still on the cool side this week, we are including in our £25 and £15 boxes all the ingredients to make our delicious and easy to make butternut squash curry. Perfect served with flat bread or rice, you can even bulk it out with a tin of chickpeas or baby leaf spinach. 

As the seasons change we continue to source only the best quality/tasting produce for you to enjoy. Although most fruits and vegetables are available all year round, the taste and quality can vary dramatically. If it isn’t good we won’t stock it. This wet weather is going to push a lot of the British crops back and there is going to be a bit of a gap as the Spanish crops are coming to the end. We have sourced a late variety Navel orange from Spain this week – Lane Late are sweet and full of flavour, with a beautiful orange skin with slight dimples they differ slightly from maincrop Navels with a more rounder shape and the navel in the base being significantly smaller. 

Seasonal fresh fruit is very sparse at the moment, with the British apple and pear season coming to an end, along with South African grapes and stone fruits. Sometimes we have to look at alternatives, so we are excited to bring you Spanish dried figs, dried fruits can contain exactly the same nutritional value as the fresh fruit, it has just had the water removed. These figs are excellent for snacking on, adding to yoghurts, cakes and cheese boards. We have included them in our £25 box this week. 

New season Portuguese carrots are delicious, these carrots are traditionally grown in sandy soil, if you have ever been to Portugal you will probably have tasted marinated carrots – a popular national dish, almost as popular as their custard tarts. 

We understand there may be weeks when our standard boxes don’t suit your needs, did you know we do lots of different boxes, we can do vegetables only, Keto boxes, fruit only, salad only or you can mix them up, salad and fruit, recipe of the week plus fruit/salad or vegetables, it is important to us that our boxes work for you. Just text your requirements and we can do a box to suit.
