Greens Week
This week we’re talking all things fresh and healthy!
We’ve selected a range of produce from local veg, fruit that you may not be that familiar with, and some everyday favorites. We then paired them with some unique recipes to help you get creative in the kitchen.
Local Veg
Callaloo
This popular Caribbean leafy green, has a slightly bitter flavor with a nutty undertone.
It’s perfect when added to this Pan Seared Fish Recipe.

Eggplant
Our local eggplant is as fresh as you can get, and is great in this Spicy Szechuan Eggplant Recipe!

Microgreens
Our local microgreens from Rootz HotHouse are organic, non-GMO and full of nutrients. We’re loving them with this Pesto and Egg Recipe (which can be enjoyed any time of the day!)

Unique Fruit
Red Banana
Red bananas are shorter, plumper and heartier than the average banana, and their flavor is sweet and creamy with raspberry highlights. This making them perfect for this Red Banana Pineapple Bread recipe! Just make sure they’re as ripe and sweet as possible.

Star Fruit
A tropical fruit, with a tart, sour taste. To some, it tastes like a combination of apple, pear & grape; however, if they’re unripe they’ll be firmer and sour.
So what should you do with them? We love this recipe for Keto Star Fruit Chips, the perfect crispy treat.

Persimmons
Persimmons are an edible fruit that grow on trees. At its peak they taste sweet, mild, and rich, some people describe them as having a honey-like flavor.
If this sounds like your sort of thing, then let’s get cooking!
Steamed Persimmon Pudding
