MJ Agroasesores are organic veg pioneers, based in Almeria, Spain. Miguel and José both trained as agricultural engineers and started off by advising local farmers how best to convert their farms to organic and undo the damage of conventional farming. They decided to turn their expertise to supplying lovely organic veg themselves and twelve years later are growing many different veggies and supplying internationally (lucky us). They are passionate about sustainability, recycling the plant debris that remains after harvesting back into organic compost to make the most of their natural nutrients.

Abel & Cole handles celery, celeriac, peanuts and nuts on site. Due to our packing process and re-use of boxes there is a risk of cross-contamination from these, and all other allergens.

Tomatoes absolutely love sunbathing, so leave them on the windowsill if they need ripening. Or, pop them in the fridge if they’re already ripe, and take them out a few hours before you eat or cook with them – they taste much better at room temperature.

Give your tomatoes a quick rinse before slicing for your salad. A good tip for removing the skin (some recipes ask for this) is to place the tomatoes in very hot water and wait till the skin begins to peel away naturally, remove and, when cool enough, peel completely. The older the tomato, the softer it is.
