On March 2nd, we were busy exchanging seeds and seeds of knowledge at Evergreen Brick Works Seedy Saturday! The event was buzzing with activity as attendees enjoyed workshops, seed exchanges, expert talks, and delicious food. Our very own Chef Bashir Munye served up samples of BCCF’s Zucchini Stem Relish and our signature “Harvest Heat” Hot Sauce. The kids were also out in full force on Saturday, enjoying activities like our Garden Necklace activity with Ashley Luey. The smiles and good vibes were everywhere! (A favourite kids’ activity!)
Thank you to all who stopped by our booth to chat, exchange seeds, or shared heart-felt support to the team. It was an exciting day of engagement and lively conversation as we championed awareness for food justice in the Black Creek Community.
Nasturtium syrup, 60mL
We steeped beautiful and bright nasturtium flowers overnight in water to extract the flavours, then used the gorgeous golden “tea” to make this sweet syrup.
The vibrant colour and delicate flavour make it a perfect addition to a cheese board. It is also great over ice cream or mixed with our hot sauce to make a sweet chili sauce for fried chicken.
Ingredients: water, cane sugar, lemon juice, pectin, nasturtium flowers*
Keep refrigerated once open. Nasturtium syrup can last for 3 months refrigerated.
*Grown at Black Creek Community Farm
