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 can say that the sweet potato, which was in previous packages, is grown in the ground. Then a plastic sheet is put over it to preserve the heat of the soil. So there is no gas involved here as with the ginger.
We hope you like this package again, please don’t forget to change your status by Sunday 8 p.m. if necessary!
In next Wednesday’s vegetable package:
- 150 grams of Dutch ginger from Gert van Brakel of Sint Annaland
