New from Amary Farm this week: Globe Artichokes

So how do you eat them?

Steaming or boiling whole is the easiest and most classic way to cook and eat a fresh globe artichoke. Because it is a large, edible thistle, eating it is a unique, hands-on process of scraping the flesh off the petals with your teeth until you reach the highly prized heart at the centre.

How to Prep a Whole Artichoke
•Rinse under cold running water, pulling the petals open slightly to flush out any trapped grit.
•Use a heavy serrated knife to slice about 2.5cm (1 inch) off the pointed top of the artichoke globe.
•Use kitchen scissors to snip off the sharp, thorny tips of the remaining outer petals.
•Artichokes oxidise and turn brown instantly when cut. Rub all cut edges immediately with a fresh lemon wedge to keep them green.

How to Cook It (The Steaming Method)
•Place a steaming basket inside a large pot with a few centimetres of water.
•Toss a slice of lemon, a peeled garlic clove, and a bay leaf into the water for aromatics.
•Stand the artichoke upright (or stem-side up) in the basket, cover with a tight lid, and bring to a boil.
•Steam on medium-low heat for 30 to 45 minutes.
•Test for doneness: Insert a knife into the base stem. If it slides in easily like a baked potato, and an outer leaf pulls off with zero resistance, it is ready.

How to Eat It
•Pull off the outer petals one by one. Dip the soft, pale, fleshy bottom end into your sauce. Put that end in your mouth, bite down lightly, and pull the leaf through your teeth to scrape off the delicious, tender pulp. Discard the rest of the tough petal. Keep working your way inward.
•As you get to the centre, the leaves will become thin and purple-tipped. Pull this entire cone of cone-shaped leaves off.
•You will now see a fuzzy, hairy crater. This is the "choke," and it is completely inedible. Use a spoon to gently scrape all the fuzz away and throw it out.
•Underneath the fuzz is a clean, solid cup of green-grey flesh. This is the artichoke heart. Cut it into pieces, dunk it in your sauce, and eat the whole thing.

New Product Alert 📢 MAPLE BUTTER!

St Lawrence Gold Organic Pure Maple Butter is a premium, velvety spread made entirely from 100% pure organic Canadian maple syrup.

Despite the name, it contains zero dairy or actual butter; instead, it is created by precisely heating, rapidly cooling, and churning pure maple sap until it achieves a smooth, spreadable, honey-like texture.

So what are you going to do with it?

Spread it directly onto warm croissants, crumpets, bagels, muffins, or sourdough toast.

Dollop it over pancakes, crepes, or French toast as a thick alternative to runny syrup.

Swirl a spoonful straight into warm morning oats or yoghurt for a burst of caramel sweetness.

Use it directly as a gourmet glaze or icing for cinnamon buns, fruit cakes, or walnut swirls.

Layer it inside crepes, sandwich cookies, or use it as a decadent dip for fresh apple slices and berries.

Melt it over roasted root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, squash, or sweet potatoes.

Melt a small dollop over freshly grilled sweetcorn or use it to bind a sweet and sharp homemade burger sauce.

Eat it straight from the jar with a spoon!

Natural Bleach, also known as oxygen bleach or Percarbonate of Soda. This is a safe and non-toxic, biodegradable alternative to harsh chlorine bleach. When dissolved in water it releases oxygen which acts as a powerful stain remover, deodoriser and disinfectant.

It breaks down harmlessly to oxygen, water and sodium carbonate. This miracle product brightens both whites and coloured fabrics and prevents them from yellowing. It’s great at removing organic stains like tea and coffee, fruit juice, food sauces, grass stains, pet stains, blood and red wine. Natural Bleach is also a great alternative to chlorine bleach in the bathroom. Dissolve in warm water to safely clean and disinfect the loo and clean drains. Also, use to easily and safely clean and bleach sinks, baths and general household cleaning.

Here are our 4 top uses

1. Eco-Friendly Laundry Booster & Stain Remover
Sodium percarbonate is the active engine behind most commercial "oxygen bleach" and color-safe laundry powders. Unlike chlorine bleach, it is safe for colorfast fabrics and will not cause cotton to yellow or weaken over time.

2. Deep Cleaning Tile, Grout, and Hard Surfaces
The intense fizzing action and alkaline nature of sodium percarbonate make it excellent for lifting deeply embedded dirt from porous household surfaces such as tile grout and bathroom mold.

3. Kitchen Ware Restoration & De-Staining
Because it decomposes into completely food-safe residues, sodium percarbonate is heavily utilized for deep cleaning kitchen equipment and sanitizing food-contact surfaces.

4. Heavy-Duty Outdoor Cleaning
The oxidising strength of sodium percarbonate is ideal for clearing biological growth and weathered stains from exterior structures like decking and patios.

Bring along your own container or we can scoop some into a paper bag for you.

Organic whole h**p seeds are a crunchy, unshelled nutrient powerhouse that offer distinct advantages over shelled h**p seeds (h**p hearts) due to their high fibre content.

* Complete Plant Protein: They contain all nine essential amino acids, making them a rare, high-quality complete protein source for vegans and vegetarians.
* High Dietary Fibre: Because the outer hull is left intact, whole h**p seeds provide an abundance of soluble and insoluble fiber to improve digestion and support gut health.
* Optimal Fatty Acid Ratio: They deliver an ideal 3:1 ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids, which helps lower blood pressure and combat systemic inflammation.
* Heart and Vessel Health: Packed with the amino acid arginine, they help produce nitric oxide, a gas that relaxes blood vessels and improves overall circulation.
* Rich in Essential Minerals: A single serving provides excellent amounts of magnesium (for sleep and heart rhythm), zinc (for immunity), and iron (for energy transport).

You can eat whole h**p seeds raw, cooked, or toasted. They have a crunchy outer shell and a nutty flavour, offering a rich source of fibre, protein, and healthy fats. Sprinkle them on your porridge, add to smoothies. Create your own h**p milk or bake them into bread, cookies or muffins. The possibilities are endless.

Recipe 1: Meatiest Flame-Grilled Vegan Burgers
Vegetable suet mimics the "fat pockets" found in high-end beef burgers. This creates incredible juiciness that won't completely dry out over the open flames.
125g TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) or soya mince
60g vital wheat gluten
2 tbsp vegetable suet (chilled)
1 cooked vacuum-packed beetroot
1 tbsp liquid smoke & 1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp gravy granules & 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp water
Boil the soya mince in water for 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze out all excess water thoroughly.
Blitz the beetroot, soy sauce, liquid smoke, gravy granules, and smoked paprika in a blender until cohesive but not pureed.
In a large bowl, mix the beetroot mixture with the hydrated mince and vital wheat gluten. Stir in the cornflour slurry and knead for 5 minutes until stretchy.
Gently fold the cold vegetable suet into the mixture. Do not overwork it; you want distinct specks of suet remaining visible.
Form into 4 large patties. Wrap tightly in greaseproof paper and steam for 45 minutes to lock the structural shape.
Brush with a mix of BBQ sauce and oil, then grill for 2–3 minutes per side until beautifully charred.

Recipe 2: BBQ Skewered Herby Suet Dumplings
Dumplings aren't just for winter stews! Cooking them on a barbecue grid creates an incredibly soft, pillow-like interior with a crispy, smoky outer crust.
200g self-raising flour
100g vegetable suet
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley & thyme
1/2 tsp fine sea salt & black pepper
120ml ice-cold water
Melted vegan butter & BBQ rub
Combine the self-raising flour, vegetable suet, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Gradually add the ice-cold water, tossing with a fork until a soft dough forms. Avoid over-kneading so the suet stays cold.
Divide the mixture and roll into small, bite-sized balls.
Drop the dumplings into a pot of boiling veg stock for 5 minutes just to firm up the core. Drain and pat dry.
Thread the dumplings onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, brush the dumplings generously with melted vegan butter and dust with BBQ rub. Grill on a well-oiled BBQ rack over indirect heat for 8–10 minutes, turning often until golden brown and crispy.

NEW Ku.tis Natural Deodorant
An eco-friendly, zero-waste deodorant brand handmade in the heart of rural Mid-Wales. It provides excellent, all-day odour protection using only 100% natural and ethically sourced ingredients.

The deodorant is housed in a 100% biodegradable and compostable paperboard push-up tube, making it completely plastic-free.

Built on a base of organic coconut oil, shea butter, and sunflower wax, using sodium bicarbonate (bicarb) and arrowroot powder to neutralise odour and absorb moisture and create a 100% plant-based stick.

We have a bicarb free formula specifically designed for sensitive skin types. It replaces sodium bicarbonate (which can sometimes cause irritation or rashes) with gentle magnesium hydroxide.

Scented exclusively with natural essential oil blends, which provide inherent antibacterial and antimicrobial benefits.

Bergamot & Sage: A woody, soothing, and subtly fresh scent.

Grapefruit & Mandarin: A lively, summery, and sweet citrus blend.

Carley’s Organic Raw White Almond Butter has been added to our ever growing selection of seed and nut butters. This delicious nutrient-dense spread is made in Cornwall from 100% organic blanched European almonds. Unlike traditional almond butters, it is mechanically hulled (skinless) and cool-milled below 44°C to preserve the natural enzymes, healthy fats, and a delicate, sweet flavour.

The cool-milling process ensures that vital micronutrients—like Vitamin E, magnesium, and calcium—are not degraded by high industrial heat. Carley’s recipe contains zero palm oil, emulsifiers, preservatives, added sugars, or salt, providing pure, unadulterated nut nutrition. It is also jam packed with rich healthy fats. Monounsaturated fatty acids actively support cardiovascular health and help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol.

But what can you do with it? Because it is made from white, blanched almonds, this butter has a velvet-smooth texture and a clean, light colour that goes beautifully in both sweet and savoury dishes.

Moisture Boost for Gluten-Free Baking: Adding a dollop of this butter to gluten-free recipes prevents cakes, biscuits, and breads from turning out dry.
Instant Nut Milk Base: Whisk or blend a spoonful into warm water to create a fresh, sediment-free instant homemade almond milk.
Creamy Sauces and Curries: Use it as a dairy-free thickener for savouries, kormas, satays, stir-fries, and marinades.
Breakfast and Smoothie Booster: Swirl into hot porridge, drizzle over pancakes, or blend into morning smoothies for a boost of healthy fats and protein.
Spreads and Dips: Spread directly onto sourdough toast or use it as a nutritious dip for apple, pear, or banana slices.

New Snack Alert ⚠️

Finland-based Foodin produces these snacks using a unique raw chocolate process that sets them apart from standard confectionery. While most chocolate is roasted at high temperatures, Foodin's chocolate is stone-ground and kept below 42°C to preserve the cocoa's natural antioxidants and minerals.

Unlike hard banana chips, Foodin uses chewy, sun-dried organic banana slices that maintain a soft, "soft-serve" like texture. Whilst the cashews are buttery, creamy cashews paired with a rich, dark raw chocolate coating.

These snacks contain Indonesian coconut sugar, which has a lower glycaemic index than white sugar, helping to keep blood sugar levels more stable.

The chocolate is made from Criollo variety cocoa beans sourced from hundreds of family farmers in the Amazon rainforest.
