Benefits of preserving homegrown fruit

  • Your harvest will last you through the colder months
  • Growing your own fruit and veg is a great way to keep yourself in fresh produce throughout autumn and winter, meaning you can keep benefitting from key vitamins and minerals even when it’s cold out!
  • You can save money on shop-bought produce
  • With the cost-of-living crisis in full swing, growing and preserving fruit and veg is a great way to save some money, particularly on the more artisan produce like fresh jams, or combine a range of frozen fruits into easy and healthy smoothie portions.
  • Make healthy snacks for your children (and yourself!)
  • Generally, the fewer ingredients in a snack, the better it is for your body. Keep it fun by blending up some fruit and freezing into an ice lolly, or dehydrating fruit to create chewy strips!
  • Guaranteed to be fresh and organic
