I have just taken delivery of my first organic fruit and veg box, from the appropriately named company, Nudefood. The Husband thinks I’m mad (not to mention extravagant), but then he didn’t see how many times I had to wash the lettuce I bought from the local market: it took four rinses to get rid of the foamy, slimey goo covering the leaves. The brouhaha over the dangers of pesticides hasn’t yet reached Sri Lanka, so in 2010 I’m playing safe.
What you get in a fruit and veg box is always a lottery, but at least in the UK it’s possible to actually identify the goods. Among the carrots, beetroot, lettuce and herbs are two mystery parcels of green leaves. I think one is gottukola and the other kung, but I’m not sure which is which, nevermind what to do with either of them. Cook? Eat raw? Who knows.
The Husband is in for some weird and wonderful suppers this week. Lucky boy.
