Can you guess what the world’s most favoured fruit is?
According to the BBC, the world’s most favoured fruit turns out to be… tomatoes! Tomato has been a hot debate topic on whether it’s a fruit or vegetable, but no one can argue that few things are as delicious as a sweet, juicy, fresh tomato.
And this Tomato Lentil Salad by @goodnessavenue successfully highlights all the good things about this humble fruit. The addition of lentils not only makes this dish more nutritious but also filling. It’s perfect for a satisfying lunch that won’t leave you feeling bogged down.

Sweet Potato Hummus

Winter weather can get the best of us! The chilly wind, never-ending clouds, and sudden rain create the perfect recipe for colds and flu. Thankfully, our boxes are filled with nutritious fruits and veggies to combat winter sickness! One of them is our humble sweet potato. Not many people know that sweet potatoes are packed with vitamins A, C, and B6, alongside other beneficial nutrients like manganese, copper, and potassium. Collectively, these elements act as a shield, helping to protect our bodies from diseases.
And since they’re already delicious on their own, it doesn’t take much to unlock their flavours. We love this Sweet Potato Hummus recipe by @singingkathleen.
It only takes 5-10 minutes of prep time, and you can find all the ingredients you need in our Farmers Pick Box and Farmers Pick Pantry—filled with all the pantry staples you need! So, you can stay warm at home and say goodbye to cold, windy walks to the supermarket!
