  • Cucumber

    With its crisp texture and high water content, it makes for a wonderful addition to salads and is one of the most refreshing ingredients you can stock.
  • Tomato

    Vibrant, tangy tomatoes not only enhance salads, sauces, and sandwiches but also load them with antioxidants, vitamins and other nutrients.
  • Eggplant

    Full of seeds on the inside, the eggplant falls into the berry category of fruits. Known for its meaty texture and ability to absorb flavours, it is a versatile one at that.
  • Bell Peppers

    Their culinary uses disguise them well as vegetables. They are rich in nutrients and their texture is well-suited to a variety of savoury dishes.
  • Okra
