SAVOURING THE SEASON:
SEA KALE

Sea Kale is native to shingled beaches in the UK, where it grows wild. Our foragers pick its hardy purple leaves from between shelf-like rocks, well above the tide line. Once prized over cabbage, the leaves have a meaty bite and a balanced brassica flavour. The young, purple shoots become jade-green with age and yield to a milder flavour.

Aside from our foragers, Sandy has been cultivating and forcing sea kale on his farm in the North West of Scotland, in the same way, for his entire growing career.

In October he takes cuttings from his best performing sea kale crowns and stores them in peat over the winter. He then grows them outdoors through spring and summer, covered in mulch to eliminate the need for chemical intervention. Sandy then selects the best crowns, hand-harvests them from the field and then replants them in trays of local peat, where they're forced in complete darkness with a little heat and water. The resulting shoots are sweet and tender with a delicate mineral flavour - the purple pigment isn't activated during forcing, leaving the stalk pale and pearlescent. Wild Sea Kale is a tale of former abundance and forced one of persistent dedication.

We exist to fix the food system.

People are more cut off from the origins of their food than ever. This makes flavour, nutrition and farming practices that protect the planet, almost impossible to find.

By working directly with growers, we create a more sustainable way forward for farming. By giving everyone the tools to understand the power of our food choices, we empower everybody to become drivers of change.

Now is the time for action. Join the food system revolution.
