Home of The Ugly One
We are proud to have our own brand of Celeriac ‘The Ugly One’.
Arguably one of the ugliest vegetables going!
Celeriac is proof that it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Don’t judge it by that rough, knobbly surface and odd shape. It tastes delicious with a sweet, nutty and subtle celery like flavour and is incredibly good for you. We like it so much that we created a brand - we’re proud to be ‘The Ugly One’.
This root vegetable not only tastes great but is extremely beneficial to our diets. It possess only 42 calories per 100gm serving, is high in fibre and cholesterol free, and has a very impressive nutrient profile with good levels of potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, phosphorous, calcium and magnesium. It contains more iron than Broccoli.
It’s a demanding crop to grow successfully and we have to be on the ball but since a two acre trial in 1989 we’ve carved out a niche market for this versatile veg.
VERSATILity
Get to the root of what to do with it.
We often asked what can you do with it. Well there are endless possibilities. Substitute it for potatoes or boil it in 20 minutes, roast it in 40 minutes, mash or puree it, slice it, grate it raw, make delicious soup with it or try moorish spiced chips. Even bake it into cakes. Serve it on its own or as an accompaniment to any type of meat - in fact celeriac is so versatile there isn’t much you can’t do with it.
It has a great affinity to curry and our favourite must be the curried celeriac chips baked in the oven just like potato chips but with a much sweeter taste. Give them to children; they will love them and a good way of introducing a new vegetable into their diet.
