Cherry tomato love!

Cherry tomatoes, although botanically a fruit, are considered a vegetable as they are mostly used in savoury dishes. Cherry tomatoes are ideal for roasting, on bruschetta, as a basis for pasta sauces, as garnish, in salads and as a healthy snack option. Nutritional benefits include a rich vitamin C content, low in calories, fat and cholestrol free and a good source of lycopene, which scientists believe contain powerful anticancer properties. Cherry tomatoes are ideal for meat-free diets in assisting iron absorption due to the high vitamin C content. Cherry tomatoes are best when plump, tight-skinned and firm.

Quality produce is our passion!

You may have heard about the recent price reduction by some supermarkets of their fresh produce. We can't vouch for the supermarkets however we can guarantee that none of the produce you order from The Lettuce Shop sits in a coolroom for days or weeks before reaching you. We select the fruit and vegetables to your order and buy all your produce the morning of your delivery. So when you are biting into a deliciously fresh piece of fruit be assured it has come to you straight from the market, not from a shelf in a coolroom. We take the quality of our fruit and veg very seriously, it's our passion!

New season Nashi are very impressive, take a look for yourself.

They are super crisp and as fresh as can be, perfect for school lunchboxes or healthy snack times. Order some today and try them for yourself.

We hope you had a deliciously fresh weekend!
