Spice up stir fries, curries or enhance a homemade peanut butter dipping sauce with some ginger. Add to home baking such as gingerbread and spicy cookies. Ginger pairs well with many fruits (like peaches, bananas, strawberries) as well as cocoa and nut butters so it’s a great addition to a smoothie or porridge!
Our Organic Kibbled Onion is a versatile ingredient that adds the classic warm and sharp taste of a typical onion without the risk of tears when chopping one up! Great in stews, chutneys, pizza doughs and the classic onion soup!
Our aromatic Organic Mint is a great accompaniment to both sweet and savoury dishes. It adds a refreshing mint flavour to recipes and is commonly used in curries, stir fry, casseroles and Asian dishes. It can also be used in sauce mixes, or rubbed into lamb for the perfect pairing. Alternatively, use the mint with hot water to make a delightful mint tea. Grab 100g for £3.25!
