Our Story:
I started a distribution company in 2014 for vegetables & fruits that are not regularly available here in Chennai. The idea was born out of my own frustration of not having access to a regular supply of salads and greens in the local markets. 


The fruits, flowers & vegetables that I offer are all farmed in India. They are 
grown in professionally managed farms, owned by my family, who have been in the business for the last 45+ years.


Only minimum quantities of approved pesticides are used responsibly whilst growing the vegetables. In other words, we take care to make sure there are no traces of fertilizers or chemicals on the products by the time they are harvested. Wherever appropriate, the produce is washed after harvesting, before packaging and shipping. The produce is also chilled on harvesting which ensures freshness for a longer period.

The vegetables & fruits are packed in standardized  bio-packs, and you will find the size and quantity of each pack mentioned on our website. Today we also sell cut-flowers.

How to Get your Vegetables, Fruits & Flowers:

Pasta with Sun Gold Tomatoes

Sun Gold tomatoes are lovely—a sweet, slightly tannic variety of cherry tomatoes.  Be sure to cook the tomatoes down until they've released all of their juices.

Serves: 2

INGREDIENTS:

4 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
250 g Sun Gold or cherry tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
salt
180 g capellini, spaghetti, or bucatini
3/4 cup finely grated Pecorino or Parmesan
8 medium fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces

Toasted breadcrumbs (for garnish; optional)

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper flakes, season with salt, and cook, covered slightly and swirling pan often, until tomatoes blister and burst, 10-12 minutes. Press down on tomatoes to release their juices. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil. Season with salt; add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until about 2 minutes before tender. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking water.
  4. Transfer pasta to skillet with tomatoes; set over high heat. Add 1/2 cup pasta water. Cook, stirring and tossing often, until sauce thickens and begins to coat the pasta, about 1 minute.
  5. Stir in remaining oil, cheese, and half the basil and toss until sauce coats pasta and pasta is al dente. (Add more pasta water if sauce seems dry.)
  6. Add remaining basil, season with salt, and serve with breadcrumbs, if desired.
