Late June and July are peak months for strawberries in the UK. Sadly these luscious fruits can be laced with a cocktail of different pesticides. Not many organically grown strawberries can be found in the shops, but they are very likely to be available through local biodynamic and organic box schemes and from biodynamic farm shops. The added advantage of no pesticides is that these strawberries will have been grown in soil rather than in some kind of substrate or hydroponically, which is how most non-organic strawberries are grown.

It’s hard to beat simply eating fresh strawberries; however, Daphne’s Summer ‘porridge’ sounds like a great way to make the most of the abundance of strawberries

Strawberry ‘porridge’  (serves 1)

1 tablespoon shelled hemp seeds
handful of sprouted buckwheat
1 dessertspoon pumpkin seeds
1 dessertspoon sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon honey
handful strawberries
1 dessertspoon chia seeds
Whiz the shelled hemp seeds into a milk with 100ml water.
Soak the buckwheat and seeds with the honey in the hemp milk overnight.
Add the strawberries, top with chia seeds & enjoy.
