Kalettes for everyone in this week’s veg boxes
November 12, 2021
Kalettes are a cross between Brussels sprouts and kale with a sweet and nutty flavour. We’ve discovered they’re much easier to grow in Cornwall than Brussels sprouts. Although a little bit fiddly to pick they’ve fast become a favourite in our veg boxes.
Several of our volunteers make traditional chutneys and pickles for us every year from gluts of various fruits and vegetables. First up this autumn are spiced pears and piccalilli.
In all the veg boxes:-
*kalettes
*jar of spiced pears or piccallili
*cavolo nero
*leeks
*beetroot
*squash (Fowey River Veg))
potatoes ‘Wilja’ (Colwith Farm, Lanlivery)
Standard boxes also have:-
*rainbow chard
*tomatoes (last of)
*daikon or turnips or mixed salad leaves
* = grown to organic principles
Please wash all produce thoroughly
Produce grown by Camel CSA, unless indicated otherwise
