Absolutely agree! KAVA market 🌱
Those leaves are nature’s own packaging — protecting the cauliflower and reducing waste whilst also being very tasty!
From Mushandi, we’re all for leaves on! 💚
Nature is amazing. Why we have to have our produce wrapped in plastic is beyond us. At KAVA we have always opted for fresh farm to fork sales. No commercial packaging where it is not needed. We push back at suppliers and we hope to encourage customers to use less plastic. We are told our customers do not want to by cauliflowers with too many leaves, they want to see the cauliflower and they don't want to pay the extra cents (1 to 3c in reality). Therefore, on delivery, our team removes most of the leaves. It drives us mad. What a waste. The leaves themselves are nutritious and delicious boiled , stirfried or roasted. The leaves also protect the cauliflower (no need for packaging). At KAVA we do want to give our customers the choice so we keep some caulis, as natured intended, but most have the leaves ripped off!. We would like to change this to 100% leaves on. What do you prefer? Would you buy them packaged and protected in their own leaves? Let us know in the comments.👇
Let us not waste food, let us say no to plastic waste!
