Tasted: Xotic Hint of Lime Deluxe Dessert

By Vegan Caroline This Xotic Hint of Lime Deluxe Dessert is a great new addition to vegan friendly pot desserts with balanced flavours and a creamy taste.

Tasted: Tiptree Mulberry Conserve

By Veggie Tom This jam has bags of character – the chunky mulberries give it an almost smoky note. Buy it if you want a change from the usual fruits.

Tasted: Biona Organic Curry… in a can?

Tasted: Creative Nature Heavenly Cacao bar
