New Suppliers, still keeping it local...

Bedfordshire has so much to offer in the way of local producers selling ingredients of the highest quality. We are very pleased to announce that we will be stocking 2 of them on our shelves as of Friday (21st March).

Firstly we will be stocking Mrs Middletons Cold Pressed Rape Seed Oil (http://www.mrsmiddleton.co.uk/). Rape Seed Oil is extremely healthy and is much better for you in many respects than Olive Oil. This is because Rapeseed oil has a favourable balance of 'good' and 'bad' fats:

• Less unhealthy saturated fat than all other cooking fats and oils - e.g. 50% less than olive oil
  
• High in the healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats omega 3, 6 and 9
  
• It is also a rich source of vitamin E, a natural antioxidant
  
• And contains plant sterols - which may contribute to the cholesterol lowering properties of rapeseed oil

And it is absolutely delicious...

We'll also be stocking White Flour, Wholemeal Flour and Oats from Stotfold Mill (www.stotfoldmill.com). The flour is milled from grains grown within Bedfordshire at the historic Stotfold Mill. The flour is top quality wheat flour suitable for breadmaking and we're looking forward to trying it out.
