✨ 🍓 Strawberries are finally in season in the UK 🍓✨

I opened my first box this week and they super juicy and fresh, it’s finally feels like Summer is on its way!

Avoiding air freight and long journeys makes for a much fresher berry and brings a much lower carbon footprint 🏆

Want to savor their sweetness longer?

The best way to store strawberries in the fridge is to keep them unwashed in a single layer. Make sure to remove any bruised or moldy berries to prevent them from spoiling the rest. And avoid sealing them in an airtight container, as moisture can accumulate and cause them to mold quickly.

Let's support local growers and indulge in the true essence of summer! ☀️

How to identify wild garlic in the UK ✨

It is very important to identify wild garlic correctly. There are some toxic lookalikes that grow alongside wild garlic.

Wild garlic has the following features 🧄

It has a strong garlic smell when the leaves are crushed — this is the most distinctive feature and you should check this attribute on the leaves as you pick and also as a final check before you use them.

Leaves are broad and lance shaped and pointed. They are smooth with a central vein and each leaf grows from a single stalk (ie not branching off from a central stem).

When wild garlic flowers, it has small, star shaped white flowers.

It grows in the UK between March and June.

Wild garlic is found in damp shady areas, often in woodland or near riverbanks and grows in large patches or carpets.

Other toxic plants which grow in the UK and elsewhere which can resemble wild garlic and should be avoided:

Lily of the valley – similar leaf shape, but no garlic smell, very poisonous.

Autumn crocus – similar leaves but no garlic smell, also toxic.

Lords-and-ladies – very common in same habitats; younger leaves look similar, but no smell and toxic.

Further information can be found in my Linktree about wild garlic lookalikes…

Always use the smell test and be 100% sure before picking or eating.

A S P A R A G U S

Asparagus is in season in the UK from now until mid June 💚

When it’s out of season in the UK, it’s almost always flown over to the UK from Peru, making it much less carbon friendly ✈️

🌅 Some UK farmers start rare able to produce as early as February if you’re able to find their produce - John Lewis and M & S boast early season starts from their growers.

It comes in three colours..

💚Green season peaks April to mid June. It has a mild, grassy earthy flavour with a hint of sweetness.

💜Purple season starts in May until June and is sweeter than green.

🤍 White is grown in the dark and is available mid April to mid June. It is slightly sweeter than green, and less grassy in flavour.

Cooking methods include - steaming, roasting, grilling, air frying, sauteed or shave or grate and eat raw in salads ✨

🤓 To store in the short term - trim the ends and place the stalks upright in a glass or jar with an inch of water, like fresh flowers.
Cover loosely with a plastic bag and store in the fridge.

❄️ Or, to enjoy UK asparagus all year around blanch the spears in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then freeze them for up to a year.
