Enjoy World Vegetarian Month with us

October 2, 2024

October is World Vegetarian Month, and thanks to our range of naturally vegetarian products, you won’t be missing meat – you’ll be too busy feasting! 

Take maftoul for example: forget those sad, anaemic couscous salads you’ve suffered through at some work buffet – this is the real deal. Bulgur wheat rolled by hand into delicious giant couscous pearls, but make no mistake,  it’s nothing like couscous! #ThisIsNotCouscous

Then there’s freekeh. It’s ancient, it’s earthy, it’s smoky – and so flavoursome it’s frankly just showing off at this point. High in fibre and protein, it’s the grain that brings all the depth without any of the faff. Swap it for rice next time you make a risotto and thank us later. #GetFreekehWithUs

Both of these grains are packed with protein and fibre, with a nutty, satisfying bite that makes you think, “I could actually live on this.” (And many of you do!)

And then we have the Medjoul dates – oh, the dates. These aren’t those dried-up excuses for a snack you might remember from your childhood. No, these are plump, sticky jewels packed with potassium, magnesium, and fibre. Eating one feels like indulging in something far more sinful than it actually is. They’re perfect on their own but throw them into a salad or bake them into something gooey, and suddenly, you’re a culinary genius.

Now, let’s talk za’atar. This is the herb blend you didn’t know you needed, but once you start sprinkling it on everything, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. It brings so much to the table and transforms anything – toastie, mac & cheese, or dipping oil – into a flavour bomb. Seriously, if you’re not putting za’atar on your eggs, your veg, and whatever else needs a flavour lift, what are you even doing?

And then we have almonds, packing in a potent nutritional punch, gram for gram – get them in your next dish, pronto because this is how goddesses are made. Whether you’re tossing them into granola, blitzing them into a pesto or just snacking on them straight from the pack, they’ll make you feel virtuous and downright nourished.

Finally, let’s not forget olive oil—our flagship product and the cornerstone of Palestinian cuisine. This is no ordinary olive oil; it’s Fairtrade, organic, and packed with flavour. Drizzle it over salads, roast your veggies in it, or simply dip some fresh bread into it – you’ll quickly see why it was voted the nation’s favourite organic product.

It will become your secret trick to elevating any dish, whether you’re going all out with something fancy or just adding the perfect finishing touch.

Dive headfirst into World Vegetarian Month and discover that, actually, you don’t need meat to have a meal that knocks it out of the park. With ingredients this good, trust us – you won’t even miss it.
