Bok Choy

Bring a taste of Asia to your dinner table with fresh, seasonal Bok Choy! This versatile Chinese cabbage has a mild flavour and crisp texture, making it perfect for everything from comforting soups to quick and easy stir-fries on busy weeknights. Even better, every part of the plant can be eaten, from the crunchy stalks to the tender green leaves making it a delicious low-waste choice. Pair it with a fragrant garlic and ginger sauce, toss it through your favourite noodle dish, or use it to boost your veggie intake in stir-fries. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals, Bok Choy is also a great source of folate, which helps reduce tiredness and supports everyday energy.

Ruby Red Grapefruit

 

Bright, juicy and bursting with flavour, Ruby Red grapefruit is a citrus favourite that’s well worth adding to your shopping list. Naturally sweeter than traditional grapefruit, it delivers the perfect balance of sweetness and tang, making it ideal for those who prefer a less bitter citrus. Its vibrant red flesh gets its colour from lycopene, a powerful antioxidant, while it’s also packed with vitamins C and A to help support a healthy immune system during winter. Best of all, Ruby Red grapefruit is seedless, making it easy to enjoy any time of the day. Add it to your breakfast for a fresh, low-calorie start, toss it through salads for a pop of colour and flavour, or simply enjoy it on its own.

With their mild, delicate onion flavour, spring onions are a versatile kitchen staple that can be enjoyed both raw and cooked. Sprinkle them over salads, soups, noodles or stir-fries for an extra burst of flavour, or use them as a fresh garnish to finish off your favourite dishes. They cook in just moments, making them perfect for quick and easy meals.
