Organic Pink Roscoff Onions PDO
$139 by kgYou’ve heard of rosé wine, but this is a rosé vegetable! Totally versatile, the Roscoff Onion can be used as a vegetable, a side-dish or as a condiment, raw or cooked. They are celebrated not just for their colour, but also for their unique flavour, their high vitamin C content and their long shelf-life.
Grown here since the 17th century, these onions were imported by overseas travellers and only grow in certain soils, so they are not found in many places beyond the area around Roscoff. They became famous thanks to the “Johnnies”, onion sellers who travelled from Roscoff in the 1800s to sell their produce further afield, notably in England. These men travelling the country on bikes, wearing strings of onions and dressed in their Breton striped tops are the source of our stereotype for the bike-riding French man!
Nowadays, these onions have been recognised with an AOC approved label, acknowledging the longstanding know-how behind their production, which yields about 1500 tonnes a year. Every stage in their production takes place in a specific area around Roscoff.

Organic Flat Parsley – by bunch
$35 by bunchA sprig of parsley can provide much more than a decoration on your plate. One of the very few herbs that are actually available all year round, the nutritious flat leaves are high in iron and vitamins. It can act as a natural breath sweetener too.
Flat-leafed or “Italian” parsley is used for cooking and hot dishes. To retain the flavour, add the chopped parsley towards the end of cooking, or sprinkle it on top of your finished dishes just before serving. It will need a quick rinse to remove any remains of soil.
Origin: France
Packaging: Kraft bag
Storage: Parsley can be kept in a perforated bag in the refrigerator, or stem-down in a glass of water. If the parsley is slightly wilted, sprinkle it lightly with water or wash it completely without drying before storing in the refrigerator. However, it is best to wait for washing until ready to use in your recipe.
Usage: can be used in salad or to top any hot dish.

Chocolate Mint – Laurent Berrurier
$29 by bunchChocolate Mint is a medium growing mint reaching up to 60cm tall, with a spreading nature up to 60cm. The large ovate leaves are a bronze – dark green, with deep reddish-purple stems. The lilac-purple flowers appear in summer and open from the bottom of the false whorl, progressing to the top of the inflorescence.
The aroma and flavour are open to interpretation. Some people describe the taste as like peppermint with chocolate undertones, while others cannot detect the chocolate flavour at all. The parent plant is Peppermint, so this is the main flavour with the chocolate being a novelty. Nibbling the leaves is a sure way to find out whether your palate can detect the subtle difference.
The botanical name is Mentha x piperita for the Peppermint parent which is itself Mentha aquatica (Watermint) x Mentha spicata (Spearmint). In some references the full name given is Mentha x piperita f. citrata, because there are several flavoured mints developed from the same breeding. These include Basil Mint and Orange Mint.

Wild Bear’s Garlic
$399 by kg / Min 250gAil des ours Wild garlic is a truly idyllic culinary treat – a wild ingredient that, when in season, grows in abundance, nestled among bluebells, attracted by the moist soil and shady woodland environment. Wild garlic has enjoyed a culinary boom in recent times, taking its place alongside rhubarb and asparagus as a pillar of spring’s bounty. It has a short season, usually first appearing in mid-March and lasting until early May.
The second half of the Latin name, ursinum, refers to the fact that brown bears loved to eat the bulb. This also gave rise to two of its common names – bear’s leek and bear garlic.
Origin: France
Packaging: Kraft bag
Storage: in the fridge up to 1 week. Y
Usage: Always brush off any soil and wash wild garlic in cold water before eating.The leaves have a vibrant punch to them when eaten raw, so finely chopping them and using them in a similar way to herbs is a nice way to showcase the fresh flavour. Wild garlic dressings such as pesto or salsa verde are often whipped up for this reason.
Cooking the wild garlic leaves mellows out the flavour: simply blanch or wilt for 30–60 seconds as you would with spinach. It shrinks down a lot after cooking, so make sure you have plenty to hand. As a lot of wild garlic can sometimes be overpowering, mixing the leaves with spinach can be a good way to achieve a nice balanced flavour. If you aren’t eating straight after cooking, plunge into iced water to retain its vibrant green colour.
