Salad Bags

From time to time you may find a salad bag in your vegebox (a bag of tasty salad leaves). The contents will vary, but may include any combination of the following: oriental saladini (small leaves picked from a mixture of immature oriental brassicas or salad leaves), tiny spinach plants, lettuce leaves, rocket, miner's (or lamb's) lettuce. We have just begun to experiment with a number of new crops and hope to increase our range over the course of the next year, so the bags will become more interesting and colourful as time goes by. They can either be eaten raw, as a salad, with your favourite dressing, or the oriental saladini (mainly winter and early Spring) can be stir-fried, if you prefer.

Washing of Organic Produce

Please wash the contents of the salad bags before serving. We rinse the dirt off to the best of our ability but they are not packed under sterile conditions. We are often asked if it's necessary to wash organic produce. We suggest that it is always advisable to wash all fruit and vegetables before eating them. Organic produce hasn't been sprayed with any harmful chemicals but it may have been handled by several people before it reaches you and contain residues of dust and/or dirt, which could harbour harmful bacteria.
