A range of products that will give a new taste and appearance to your dishes, adding an unusual touch and inspiring new recipes.

Purple potato

Purple potatoes are very little known. They are tubers that, in addition to being original in colour, are also extraordinary and unique in flavour, as they are close to that of chestnuts.
This potato lends itself to different combinations guaranteeing a unique chromatic effect. With the purple potato, you can make everything from the first course to the desserts: everything is possible.

Sweet potato

Garden Frutta sweet potatoes, which today arrive in our kitchens from the United States, can be recognized by their orange colour.
They can be baked, boiled or even fried! This nice potato is very versatile and allows you to create delicious savoury or pastry dishes.
They are a superfood that nutritionists recommend in different diets.

Ratte potato

Ratte potatoes are a particular type of yellow-fleshed potato, elongated in shape, and with a flavour similar to that of chestnuts.
The skin of these potatoes is very thin and delicate. It can be removed very easily by rubbing it with your fingers, but you can also eat it.
Like common potatoes, they can be eaten boiled or baked. They handle cooking very well and can be used to prepare excellent gnocchi or mashed potatoes.

Yellow carrot

Carrots are known for their high content of nutrients, especially those that are good for the eyes.
This also applies to yellow carrots, which are rich in one of these substances: lutein.
The root vegetable that grows underground is also popular for its flavour: slightly sweet, slightly less than the purple variety.
Carrots have a bright yellow colour and a crunchy bite.

AVAILABILITY: Year-round.
STORAGE: Recommended between 2 and 4° C.

Purple carrot

The purple carrot is less known today. It combines the typical nutritional properties of the classic carrot with a significant number of flavonoids and carotenoids, which help fight cellular aging.
Try them baked in the oven for an appetizer or a different side dish!

AVAILABILITY: Year-round.
STORAGE: Recommended between 2 and 4° C.

Yellow courgette

Yellow courgettes are a delicious vegetable, very similar to the green ones.
The delicate flavour and very high digestibility are the secrets and added values of yellow zucchini, which have a taste very similar to pumpkin.
In the kitchen, the uses are varied, exactly the same as green zucchini, they can be cooked in a sautéed pan, but also stuffed in the oven or marinated, to be enjoyed both raw and cooked.
Yellow courgette is also perfect for risotto and omelettes, but also as a condiment for simple pasta.

Green bean

These long green beans originate in France.
Thin beans have a lot in common with regular beans, although the shape is usually much straighter.
The main difference lies in the slightly more intense and refined taste.

AVAILABILITY: Year-round.
STORAGE: Recommended between 6 and 8° C.

Mangiatutto

Mangiatutto are also known by the name of Taccole and is the fruit of some herbaceous plants originating in the Mediterranean countries.
If you don't know them, they come in a wide, slightly flattened shape and have a delicate and slightly sweet flavour.
From a nutritional point of view, they contain good amounts of vegetable proteins and starches, and vitamins A, B, C, and E.
They also contain folic acid, very important for pregnant women, and mineral salts such as phosphorus, potassium, and iron.

Okra

Their shape alone is reminiscent of a truly exotic vegetable. Okra looks like a cross between a courgette and a chili (green), about 5-10 centimetres long with vertical ribbed stripes.
They are seeded pods sourced from a tropical herb.
With its slightly savoury flavour, okra is no different from green beans. When you cooked them longer, the texture becomes a little mucous. They are also great for thickening soups and other dishes.

AVAILABILITY: Year-round.
STORAGE: Recommended around 6° C.

Chayotte

Firstly, vegetables are not the first association that comes to mind. Its appearance is more of a mix of a pear and an apple, with deep folds.
The bite of chayote is firm, like an apple. In terms of taste, it is a combination of melon and cucumber.
The softcore that is inside is edible.

AVAILABILITY: Year-round.
STORAGE: Recommended around 12° C.

Sugar cane

Sugar cane looks more like bamboo. Exotic stems are responsible for three-quarters of the world's (cane) sugar production.
The Chinese and Indians already knew 25 centuries ago that the juice of this plant is wonderfully sweet.
The stems are white-green, with long fibers.

AVAILABILITY: Year-round.
STORAGE: Recommended between 6 and 8° C.

Rhubarb

Rhubarb is an ancient vegetable originating from China, which is used in many ways: especially for candies, liqueurs, jams and various sweets.

Lemon Grass

Lemongrass or Citronella is a plant often used in Asian recipes: it gives a pinch of flavour and aroma to dishes, thanks to the biting taste similar to lemon.
Excellent for preparing fish-based dishes, to marinate or cook in foil. Used in cold dishes, it refreshes and lightens, while in hot ones, it stimulates digestion.

AVAILABILITY: Year-round.
STORAGE: Recommended between 2 and 6° C.

Corn

It is a vegetable that looks like ordinary corn, but in reality, it's a bit different.
As soon as they are harvested, the cobs begin to transform their starch into sugars, so the taste is sweet.
You can recognize the cobs by their intense yellow colour and white skin.

AVAILABILITY: Year-round.
STORAGE: Recommended around 3° C.
