A Colombian Fruit Basket – Healthy Cheer for the Festive Table!
Give Colombian Uchuva (Physalis) & Satsumas
FdE is selling the Colombian Reed Pots only ~ gift ideas are up to you
With Uchuvas at £1 at most large supermarkets, why not give exotic Colombian fruit?
As they say in Colombia “bueno, barato y bonito” ~ good, bargain & beautiful!
Add a candle & a ribbon for a “Colombian Christingle”!
**********
In Spanish “uva” is grape – so “Uchuva” is little grape.
Uchuva is the smaller, sweeter cousin of Lulo
It’s the healthiest fruit FdE has traded, with great Vit A & C content
We will soon be selling Uchuva Sultanas with the Dried Fruit.
A basket of Colombian Uchvuas is ideal to raise awareness of crops of peace!
