Jersey Royals - Roll out the red carpet
26 March 2013
Jersey Royalsare renowned for their fantastically sweet, yet earthy flavour and it is theisland's growing conditions that are responsible for this. Jersey slopes fromnorth to south and so benefits from a large level of sunlight, while the soilis well-drained and nutrient-rich thanks to the vraic (locally collectedseaweed) that is used as a fertiliser - there is no mistaking the unique deepflavour of the Jersey Royal.
Given that it is the first week of the season, prices are at their highest, butshould fall dramatically over the next few weeks.
