Vegetarian
Tamarillos are in season now. These versatile fruits come in a variety of jewel-like colours and are rich in antioxidants, being high in vitamins A, B6 and C. They also contain vitamin E and thiamine and the minerals potassium, manganese and copper, which helps the body to use iron more effectively – as well as smaller amounts of selenium, phosphorus, boron, zinc, iron, chromium and molybdenum. In short, they’re really good for you! And if you’re spending some time off the road this winter, why not use the time to stock up on some spicy sauces and chutneys, or to make a simple and delicious fruit brandy?
