A small amount can change the character of a whole dish, so begin lightly and adjust to taste. Finely chopped or grated pieces distribute flavour more evenly, while larger pieces give a gentler infusion that can sometimes be removed before serving. Cooking time also changes their intensity and aroma. Natural produce varies in size, colour and ripeness through the season. If you are shopping for a particular recipe or occasion, our team can help you choose from what is currently available.
