Buying & storing

  • Frozen are nutritionally sound and roughly half the price
  • Larger punnets on offer cost less per gram; freeze what you won't finish
  • British-grown arrive midsummer and travel a great deal less

Keep it well: Keep them in the fridge unwashed for up to a week and rinse just before eating.

Sensible swaps
