Whats in Season - April
Purple Sprouting Brocolli
As well as being beautiful to look at, this veg' is packed with vitamins and minerals.
Spanish Strawberries
In season slightly early this year is the much-adored strawb'! Lucky for us in Scotland, we've had a few brighter days to enjoy them in the sun!
Hispy Cabbages
Also known as sweetheart cabbages, these are beautifully fragrant and rich with iron. After giving them a good steam, we recommend slathering them in butter and adding a small squeeze of lemon juice.
Plums
Deliciously sweet plums fresh in store!
New Potatoes
The super versatile new potato is perfect in spring salads.
Cauliflower
Growing in popularity by the day, we have the cauliflower - with cheese, steamed, stir fried, riced or blended and baked into a carb-free crust - the possibilities are endless!
Outdoor English Rhubarb
It's surprisingly easy to cook rhubarb so if you haven't already, now is the time to prepare a crumble, compote or other sweet pud'.
Peas
Crunchy and sweet, fresh peas in a pod are a tasty snack but also a great accompaniment for any meal!
Wild Garlic
Its prime time for Wild Garlic! This underrated, mellow cousin of traditional garlic is wonderful in everything from omelettes, risottos and even in a pesto.
Find us 457 Great Western Road or 1137 Argyle Street and stock up with these seasonal gems.
