Producer

James Brown (not that one) is the soil singer who grows our veg on Pollybell Farm in Doncaster. They get a helping hand from mother nature - and one of the reasons their veg tastes so great is because the land is lovely and fertile thanks to the peat soil there, due to the dense ancient woodland that covered much of the area.

Storage & prep

There is no need to peel or cut our raw beetroot as it will retain its colour and nutrients through cooking if left unspoiled. Gently scrub the beets to clean thoroughly, and twist off any green tops. To boil, put the beetroot in a pan of water, bring to the boil and heat for 40 - 45 mins. It also works wonderfully when baked or roasted. Beetroot is naturally quite high in sodium so you don’t need to add salt. This vegetable will keep for a fairly long time. To keep at its best, store in a cool area until you are ready to use it.
