Southern Fresh Foods Has Waikato Christmas Dinners Sorted

By Tristan Hooker/MediaPA

Christmas is coming!  Traditionally in New Zealand it’s a time for sunshine, beaches, families and, of course, eating.

Just because Christmas meals might be full of carbohydrates and fat, there’s no excuse for New Zealanders not to get their “five plus a day”, especially when Southern Fresh Foods has tasty, fresh vegetables ready be harvested.

Some of the tasty products Southern Fresh Foods will be offering in the lead-up to Christmas are white beetroot and land cress.  With their white and green colourings, they are perfectly suited to the Christmas theme.

Land cress is native to Southern Europe and Western Asia and has been cultivated as a leaf vegetable in England since the 17th Century.  It is now naturalised in New Zealand and other parts of the world.  It grows very well in the lush fields of the Waikato, not requiring as much water to grow as watercress.  It has the same flavour as water cress, making it perfect for salads, sandwiches and delicate soups.

“Our white beetroot and land cress will be popular among the discerning chefs who use our products,” says Rebecca Boakes, marketing manager for Southern Fresh Group. 

“We have also small quantities of Pea Tendrils coming on, which will be available at Christmas time in small volumes.”

As Christmas approaches, keep an eye out for the Kids Christmas function as part of Southern Fresh Food’s Social Giving strategy.  Also look for their upcoming new website.
