Breaking news: strawberries have been leading a double life! Yes, you heard it right. Those red, juicy delights we've always assumed were berries? They're actually accessory fruits. This means they're the rebellious teenagers of the fruit world, developing not from the ovary (like good, law-abiding fruits should) but from another part of the plant. Scandalous, isn't it?
Now, before we start questioning all our fruit-related beliefs, let's take a moment to appreciate the magic of our palate. The world is a smorgasbord of bizarre and delightful flavours and it would take more than a lifetime to savour them all. Despite the weather throwing a spanner in the works for our hard-working farmers, some farms are now opening their gates for a 'pick your own' adventure.
So, brace yourselves for a cornucopia of June's seasonal delights. Whatever you decide to call them - fruits, berries, or aliens from outer space - just remember to relish their deliciousness. Here's to a week of culinary exploration, from Steve and the team. Enjoy the taste, regardless of the taxonomy!
We have the majority of Organic Spices back on sale, a few still missing. Due to the complexities of bringing in certain products from all over the place we have decided to set a pack size on most of our range, this will hopefully provide consistency so the spice is there when you want it allowing us to get the next shipments ready. Over time we hope to increase the pack sizes again
