π° NEW SEASON β PURPLE KENT COBNUTS π°
A wonderful taste of the Kent countryside has arrived at Peter's Produce!
Our Purple Kent Cobnuts are a traditional local seasonal treat, with their distinctive reddish-purple husks hiding a fresh, creamy nut inside.
Unlike the dried hazelnuts you may be used to, freshly harvested cobnuts have a crisp, succulent texture and a mild, slightly sweet, nutty flavour. As the season progresses, they gradually become firmer and develop a richer flavour.
Never tried a fresh cobnut? Here's how to eat them:
πΏ Pull away the leafy outer husk
π¨ Crack open the shell with a nutcracker
π° Remove the kernel
π Eat it fresh and raw β it's as simple as that!
They're also delicious lightly roasted, chopped into salads, added to a cheese board or sprinkled over yoghurt and desserts.
π Locally grown in Kent
β³ Short seasonal availability β enjoy them while they're here!
