Spring is, for a lot of people, a favourite season. Spring means life and growth, with plants coming back to life and a lot of vegetables and fruit coming back strongly after a long winter. While winter is seen as a comfort food season, spring feels fresh and lighter.
Spring vegetables and fruits are colourful, tasty, and packed with healthy nutrients. Some of the fresh produce in season right now is:
Vegetables – asparagus, artichokes, broccoli, carrots, radishes, peas, beets, etc.
Fruits – strawberries, limes, mangoes, pineapple, rhubarb, etc.
With the days becoming longer, people start to yearn for warmer weather and lighter food. Now is the perfect time to add the fresh flavours of spring vegetables to your meals. Be it a weekend meal, a Mother’s Day lunch, or Easter dinner, adding spring vegetables to your rotation of fresh produce in use is a wonderful idea. Trying out new dishes might even bring out a new family favourite.
At M&P Engineering we have been manufacturing food preparation equipment for over 50 years, and we manufacture products you can trust.
As part of our food preparation range, M&P Engineering manufactures high quality fresh cut produce machinery, such as the Carousel Grid Cutting Machine.
This versatile fresh cut machine is capable of cutting vegetables and fruit into fries, batons, wedges, petals, and slices. With an output of 4,800 pieces an hour, M&P’s Carousel Grid Cutting Machine is one of the most productive machines of its kind on the market. See it in action here.
As part of this range, we also manufacture the Radish Top & Tailer.
It tops and tails the radish, at a rate of up to 100 per minute. The top and tail knives of the machine float to adjust the position to the size of the radish, reducing waste and allowing operation on a wide range of radish sizes and shapes. Because of its manual adjustment of the top and tail knives, no change of parts is required.
