FOOD EDITION
Fenland Celery hits supermarket shelves Tesco has recently welcomed Fenland Celery to its stores in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Grown exclusively in the rich, black soils of the Cambridgeshire Fens, the distinctive celery variety holds Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, so it’s cultivated in this area only, known for its fertile peat soil. Harvested by hand and grown using traditional Victorian methods, its sweet, nutty flavour and clean, crisp texture make it a chef and customer favourite, but a short growing season means it’s only available for eight weeks per year. At G’s Growers, Fenland Celery is grown using techniques passed down through generations. Ivaylo Kostadinov, celery grower and product director, says the team takes pride in cultivating the heritage crop. “The unique conditions of the Fenland soil and our traditional growing and harvesting methods create a celery that tastes unlike any other. It’s a crop with a rich history that reflects the heritage and quality of British farming.” Fenland Celery is available in selected Tesco stores until early December, subject to crop availability.
