Steve’s Jubilicious Leaves

Steve’s Leaves jumps on the royal bandwagon with a celebratory Diamond Jubileaf™.


Psst, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there are a few events happening in old Blighty this summer, and everywhere you turn the shops seem to be trying their best to flog you something else that makes you proud to be British. Somewhat disconcertingly though, many of these must-have items are a touch on the unhealthy side, so it’s good to be able to tell you about something fresh and natural, which won’t add inches to your Jubolympic waistline.
Steve’s Leaves have been gracing our supermarket’s salad bars for a while now, offering succulent sides that are grown to provide the optimum quality and flavour for us, while working to conserve and support the natural habitats of British wildlife. To celebrate the Queen’s jubilee, Dr Steve Rothwell has been working hard to create a special edition of his eponymous leaves, featuring Diamond Jubileaf™ Chard. Crisp and tasty and full of vitamin A and folic acid, the new Chard sports striking white veins and adds a satisfying tangy crunch to any salad, making it a fantastic addition to the Pea Shoots and Baby Leaves bag.
Packed with vitamins A, C and K, Chard is considered to be one of the healthiest vegetables we grow and has been widely eaten throughout the centuries and around the world. Harvested when young and tender, Chard leaves make for an ideal salad crop, while the more mature plants are delicious when sautéed with garlic and a teeny tiny bit of butter. 
Steve’s Leaves Pea Shoots and Baby Leaves (£1.35/60g) are available from Asda, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose stores nationwide and online at www.Ocado.com.
