Last week, I made a little bit of grocery at a new bulk shop in West London (The Source). I really like the concept as it gave the opportunity to try various things without committing to buy a whole big pack. On top on that, the philosophy behind it (zero waste) is great and I feel good when buying product over there. All the products sold are organic which is the extra value added.
I bought some black lentils as I like the shape, colour and I wanted to try them. I decided to give them a try with smoked salmon. On top of that, I use the purslane from the organic vegetable box. Those cute little green leaves are really great in terms of potassium, magnesium and even calcium. All delicious and so refreshing.
