Our fruit of the month is the GREENGAGE. Green and sweet, this is a truly delicious classic plum, sometimes considered to be the finest of dessert plums. Like al plums, it is a good source of potassium, fibre and vitamins A and C. They are rich in anti-oxidants and help the body to produce serotonin.

Our fruit of the month is the STRAWBERRY. For a little berry, it is rich in Vitamin c, manganese and folic acid as well as being a good source of ellagic acid (thought to combat carcinogens) and antioxidant flavonoids (linked to protecting against heart disease, stroke and cancers.)

Our VEGETABLE of the month is ASPARAGUS. It contains more folic acid than any other vegetable, and is a source of fibre, potassium, and vitamins A and C. It has antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties. Look for firm but tender stalks with good colour and closed tips.

Our vegetable of the month is CUCUMBER. Or is it a fruit? Opinion is divided. What do you think? High in vitamin C, and containing a good amount of vitamin A and the minerals molybdenum, potassium, manganese and folate, it’s definitely too good to ignore!

Our vegetable (yes it is!) of the month is RHUBARB. It’s a good source of fibre and contains vitamin C and calcium. Some studies have linked the fibre from rhubarb in the diet with reduced cholesterol levels. Choose firm, crisp plump stalks with plenty of colour.

Our VEGETABLE of the month is KALE. It contains vitamins A, C and E, and is full of minerals such as manganese, iron, calcium and potassium. Kale should have a fresh green colour with moist, crisp, unwilted leaves. Best eaten soon after buying.
