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.
