Asparagus Inspires Gentle Thoughts

Feeling a bit low and craving some Spring sunshine? Well, you might like to try some ‘white gold’ French asparagus which is grown under the soil and never sees the light of day. It’s not all bad though as this is what gives white asparagus its delicate sweet taste!

It’s not been the best month for fresh produce. After the bad weather in Spain and North Africa, coupled with ongoing supply chain issues and rising energy prices, we’re seeing lower crop yields and higher prices.

And it’s not just peppers, tomatoes, salad and cucumber crops that have been affected. Normally, we’d be enjoying the best of purple sprouting broccoli and British cauliflowers this month but due to poor weather they have also been wiped out. There is limited supply on the market and the quality is questionable.

We’re hoping things will start to improve over the next month but please get in touch if you would like our help changing or planning new menus. We’re very happy to suggest alternative produce lines.
