The secret of our Indian frozen meals? Our Indian frozen meals come straight from our development kitchen that is the beating heart of our Belgian HQ. It is here that we craft delicious recipes, making sure the final product tastes exactly like the original we first enjoyed at the countertop. But what makes them stand out? Any Indian chef, whether at home or professionally, will tell you that the essential element to a good meal is the curry. Crop's chefs work on them in a dedicated sauce kitchen to truly elevate the dish to new heights. Here are 3 key components that make for a great curry. 👉 Curries always start with the spices. Each spice has its unique taste profile and is used very specifically depending on the recipe: used as a whole or dry roasted and grinded into a powder to create a mix, such as garam masala. Did you know that there’s not one fixed recipe for this famous blend? The number of ground spices used varies between regions and every household has its own recipe varying the ratio. 👉 Onion, garlic and ginger! These 3 core ingredients are must-haves in any curry. Did you know that garlic did not originate in India? It was introduced by Portuguese traders in the 16th century. Some opt to replace garlic by asafoetida to get the savory and slightly bitter taste. 👉 Finally, you will have either a type of meat or a mix of vegetables that constitutes the body of the curry. From there, you can decide to go for either a richer tomato-based sauce as you would find in Northern India, or a more liquid coconut-based curry that you mostly find in the South.

🌱 The power of place: how harsh environments boost nutrient levels in European wild blueberries 🌱 Did you know that the cold, rugged landscapes of northern Europe play a significant role in making European wild blueberries nutritionally unique? It’s a fascinating example of how plants adapt to survive — and even thrive — in harsh climates, with benefits for us along the way. European wild blueberries, or bilberries, grow in tough conditions: frigid winters, short growing seasons, high UV exposure, and nutrient-poor soils. These environmental challenges trigger the berries to develop a thick, robust skin that acts as a protective barrier against the elements. At the same time, it also promotes the production of a powerful antioxidant: anthocyanins. Anthocyanins accumulate primarily in the skin, where they play a dual role—protecting the berry from UV damage and helping it retain moisture. Essentially, the thicker the skin, the more space the berry has to store anthocyanins, resulting in a darker, richer color and higher antioxidant levels. This natural phenomenon reminds us of the incredible value found in nature's wild, unaltered landscapes. The link between climate and nutrient levels shows how biodiversity and local ecosystems shape the nutrient density of our foods, supporting both environmental resilience and our well-being. 🌍✨ Want to learn more about our frozen fruits?
