Did you know?

It grows at the foot of pines and firs as a cream-coloured mass of wavy, ruffled lobes that looks like a cauliflower or a sea sponge. Grit lodges in the folds, so it needs long and careful washing. The flesh stays crisp and holds up to long cooking.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
