Who says winter vegetables are boring? This week, the vibrancy of the colorful veggies is sure to pleasantly surprise you again. We have the deep shades of the carrots, the soft pink-purple of the turnip and the lively greens of the leek and turnip greens. Turnip greens are a sure sign that spring is…
Next week you may have to wade through the muddy crust of salsify for the last time this season. In English-speaking countries, the salsify is also called the “oyster plant” because you can recognize a little bit of an oyster-like flavor in it. Cherish your last moments with winter vegetables because spring season is…
There’s some purple power to look forward to next week. Red cabbage gets its glorious hue from the natural plant pigment anthocyanin, which contains antioxidant properties. Will you rustle up a colourful, crunchy coleslaw salad, or simmer it with some apple and fennel seeds for a hearty side dish? And if you’ve never tried…
Garlic is generous in flavor and has the power to make your dishes shine this week. Did you know that fresh garlic is slightly softer in flavor than the dried variety? It’s ideal for incorporating raw into a celeriac salad or in a sauce made from puffed celeriac. The preparation of this winter gem…
Although the (on average) coldest month is over, we of course still have lots of winter vegetables in the package.

Dear people, Next week we have a lovely colorful vegetable package, to brighten up these sometimes gloomy days! Many of these vegetables are excellent for pickling or fermenting, so you can enjoy them for a long time. Use the Chinese cabbage and carrots to make a Korean kimchi. Pickled red onion is delicious on…
This week a novelty in our vegetable package! We present to you the Dutch ginger. Every raw salad comes to life with some grated ginger sprinkled through it. We often get questions about the method of cultivation, so in the middle of winter this type of root grows beautifully in cold greenhouses. Similarly, we…
