Nature's Wisdom

Crunch Time Planet Farms is the first vertically farmed product stocked by

Waitrose.

Thanks to a unique, cutting edge, fully automated growing system, the

leaves move from harvest to bag in under a minute. Additionally, the cleanroom

growing conditions and root-only irrigation system leads to a dry

and crispy leaf with no need to wash. Eat straight from the bag, and listen

carefully, there is a crunch you can actually hear. By virtue of the fact the

leaves have never been touched or washed, they stay fresh and crispy in the

fridge for at least eight days. There's no chemical residue, less waste and

maximum freshness. The process also offers a new benchmark in sustainable

food production with 95% less water used, a 93% reduction in soil occupancy

and 96% less fertiliser than in traditional agriculture. Currently headquartered

in Italy, this is the first time Planet Farms products are available in the UK.

Planet Farms is a certified B Corp. Packs are £1.80 RRP for 70g in Delicate Mix,

Everleaf Iceberg Lettuce, Vitality Mix and Mixed Leaves.

Daniele Benatoff, CEO and Co-Founder of Planet Farms, says, "We hope the

UK will love our pioneering Italian-grown salads, and experience crunchiness

and freshness like never before. This partnership represents our shared values

of quality, sustainability, and innovation. We want to make sure that foods stay

fresher on shelf, for longer, and contribute to reducing food waste. We believe

that by combining technology with nature's wisdom, we can grow better food

for everyone - delicious, fresh, and respectful of the planet."

ONE OF THE MOST COMMON CLAIMS WE GET IS

WHEN AN INSULIN PUMP IS ACCIDENTALLY

DROPPED DOWN A TOILET...

If this happened to you or your child's pump, which

category are you in?

I pay £6.95/month for full coverage with no excess and

get a replacement direct from the manufacturer.

I have to find £3000 and replace the pump myself.

I switch back to injections.

P.S. The NHS won't replace lost or damaged pumps, and manufacturers only cover

pump failures. Choose smart!
