Seasonality
Whilst there is no doubting the convenience of being able to buy imported vegetables when they are not in season in Britain from supermarkets we should perhaps consider the impact this has on the environment and our food security. Breaking this habit is no small feat but enjoying locally grown vegetables at their best is a good starting point. We have selected some seasonal highlights which will be included in our boxes through the year (we will add more as we progress though the year!)
May
The humble radish. Great raw in salads or simply roasted with a splash of oil and a sprig of rosemary.
July
Bulb fennel. Crunchy, sweet with a unique flavour of aniseed. Potentially my favourite vegetable!
June
Proper peas. Sweet and juicy, delicious raw through a salad or quickly boiled and topped with butter and mint.
