Hello,
Hope you are all well and having a good Easter.
There are more new products on the way but nothing which will be here in time for next week so this week it’s all about veg!
In the UK right now things are seemingly increasingly rooty with not much colour in any of the products coming from our shores. Although we will soon be over the worst of the weather and there'll be new lines popping up all the time. For example this week there were some UK spring greens available but in very limited numbers so I missed out!
There'll be a small amount of chioggia beetroot in some boxes, small celeriac, swedes and red cara potatoes all from the UK.
The most exciting things coming out of the UK next week are the indoor grown items, 3 types of mushrooms and greens from Passion4Plants along with leeks and purple sprouting broccoli (which unfortunately is very limited and won’t be available as swaps next week).
A good alternative though will be Spanish broccoli which there are a good amount of available as swaps. There’s also padron peppers and red peppers in some boxes and up for grabs as swaps.
Expect to see plenty of cherry tomatoes, celery and cucumbers in most boxes next week as we rely more on imported produce.
There are loads of bananas next week along with grapefruit from Valencia, pears from the Netherlands and a new clementine variety - golden nugget.
Have a great weekend
Thanks
Sam
