This season, we once again offer excellent quality Dutch organic Brussels sprouts from Bos Bio, perfect for your fresh produce department. They are sustainably packed in compostable nets and have a minimal carbon footprint thanks to the use of solar energy and eco-friendly cooling.
It is often said, "Brussels sprouts only taste good after the frost has passed over them." But that is actually a myth! In fact, Brussels sprouts taste great all year round. Although the temperature might affect the taste experience, frost does not change the taste of the sprout itself.
Moreover, the bitter taste, which some people know Brussels sprouts by, is already largely a thing of the past. Thanks to a discovery in the 1990s by a scientist from Wageningen, the gene responsible for that bitter taste has been targeted. Nowadays, varieties are available with a much milder taste, so everyone - even children - can enjoy them.
And did you know that Brussels sprouts are also a real vitamin C boost? Just eight Brussels sprouts contain enough vitamin C for the whole day!
So... no more excuses not to put this healthy and delicious vegetable on the menu!
The overseas grape season starts in mid-December, but planning begins now. Demand for organic grapes remains strong and our growers need early visibility on the volumes they can reserve for fixed programmes. By aligning programmes in advance, we can secure organic volumes more effectively and are also in a stronger position to offer competitive pricing.
Along the Orange River in South Africa’s Northern Cape lies Carpe Diem, a long-standing and trusted partner for our organic grapes. Owner Gog van der Colff took over the family business in 2000 and made the deliberate decision to switch to organic farming in 2006. What began as a step that not everyone was initially convinced by has developed into a progressive organic farm producing grapes, pecans and raisins.
El Niño is clearly affecting the South American mango season this year. Higher temperatures and unusual rainfall patterns are disrupting flowering, making availability and harvest timing less predictable.
