Good morning everyone 🌄

Apricots maybe small in size but offer a big flavour and lots of nutrition. These yellow/orange fruit are rich in vitamins and minerals.
There flavour ranges from sweet to sweet-tart depending on the variety.
The flesh of an apricot is soft and somewhat juicy when ripe. They have velvety skin with soft fuzz.
The high level of vitamins, flavoids and potassium, can benefit a range of health issues. Flavoids work to reduce inflammation and potassium is important for nerves and muscle function. They are filled with vitamin A which is brilliant for eye health.
Get yours before they are all gone!

We have Dragonfruit in! Sometimes called Pitaya.
When ripe this misshapen fruit has a mildly sweet flavour often described as a blend of pear🍐and kiwi 🥝.
Dragonfruit is a brilliant source of protein and helps the body make important prebiotics for your guts.
To prepare your dragonfruit, firstly slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop all of the flesh away from the pulp with a spoon.
Then enjoy, it can be added into salads, smoothies or enjoyed on its own.

We have Taro Root in!

Raw taro is toxic, so you must cook it before eating. Taro has a nutty flavour and is mildly sweet.
Taro can be prepared like potatoes - Steamed, boiled, fried, roasted or mashed.
You can pound it into a paste or powder. You can use the processed taro for baking flour, smoothies, soups, stews and bubble or boba tea.
It is a great alternative to potatoes! 🥔

🍒The Spanish Cherry 🍒 season is finally here!

These cherries are grown in the Jerte Valley, located at the northern most part of the extremadura province. Caceres is one of Spain's landscape treasures. Especially in the spring when one and a half million cherry trees bloom!

They are a smaller cherry compared to some other varieties. They are bursting with flavour, sweet, crisp and a deep dark red colour!
Get them before the season ends!
