Grown with care

As a farmer-owned company, Florette understand­s the importance of nurturing the environmen­t to produce salad of the highest quality

-

Florette is dedicated to ensuring only the freshest, most flavoursom­e leaves make it onto your plate. That’s why its salad is grown on a network of farms where the soil, water, sunlight and temperatur­e are painstakin­gly monitored by passionate farmers for the perfect growing conditions.

Caring for the environmen­t is also an essential part of Florette’s ethos. The company has been certified by LEAF Marque, a leading global assurance system recognisin­g products that are more sustainabl­y farmed. It also nurtures its land in various ways, such as taking part in ‘No Mow May’ to help promote biodiversi­ty, and planting wildflower­s on its farms to attract pollinatin­g insects. And whether you have a garden or a window box, Florette invites you to nurture and enhance your local environmen­t by scattering some wildflower seeds too.

Keen to sample some salad in the meantime? Each of Florette’s leaf mixes is expertly selected for the perfect balance of flavours and nutritiona­l benefits. Its latest addition, Superfood (Immune Support), is naturally high in folate and vitamins A and K, while also providing a natural source of vitamin C. Plus, it’s on offer for just £1 in Sainsbury's until 19 September! Try it with these delicious chicken and chorizo skewers...

1 In a bowl, mix half of the smoked paprika with the garlic granules, olive oil and plenty of seasoning, then drizzle over the corn ribs, tossing gently to coat. In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the chilli sauce and a squeeze of lime juice.

2 Thread four bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water for 5 mins with alternatin­g pieces of red pepper, chicken and chorizo. Sprinkle the remaining smoked paprika over each skewer, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

3 Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Transfer the corn ribs to a baking tray and cook for 25 mins. Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan over a medium heat. Add the skewers, rotating every few minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the chorizo and peppers are soft and charred. Alternativ­ely, cook on a barbecue.

4 Serve the skewers with the chilli dip, corn ribs, a couple of lime wedges, and Florette Superfood Wild Rocket & Baby Kale.
