Welcome to our site!
Emerging from traditional salad and leaf growing during the 60's and 70's Westlands have developed into one of the largest commercial growers of cut micro-leaf and speciality products.
Westlands started the journey into growing baby leaf salad products during 2000, moving very quickly into Micro Leaf Salads and herbs, latterly under the WOW brand.
All of the products in our ranges/collections are grown and produced with innovation, inspiration and amazing tastes and aromas in mind for the consumer.
Working with quality focused chefs, food service, catering and retail customers - who demand novel, original and modern fresh produce products, our sole aim is to provide great tasting innovation. The team at Westlands just love a challenge and you will be amazed at the wonderful sights and smells of the different array of crops that are grown.
Coriander
Beautiful green frilly edged leaves
A distinctive coriander flavour, less intense with citrusy and an aromatic taste.
Goes exceptionally well in casseroles, stews, curries, salads and soups. A must for salsa, chicken and as a garnish.
Green Basil
Traditional Green leaves
Strong sweet smell, mixed with a peppery and slightly spicy taste.
Mix with salads, try with tomatoes "Caprese" style, key ingredient in pesto, perfect for pizza, pasta and strawberries.
Red Basil
Unusual reddish-purple leaves
Warm peppery with spicy notes but balanced with a fruity taste.
Mix with salads and tomatoes, soft cheeses, shellfish and pesto recipes.
Thai Basil
Light green leaves with a purple or red hue to the stem
A vibrant and spicy flavour, with aniseed or liquorice hues.
Traditionally used in Thai dishes, but also great for pepping up stir-fries, salads, chicken, pork, seafood and beef dishes.
Red Chard
A wonderful green colour with a strong red vein through the stem into the leaf
A mild delicate and spinachy but earthy beetroot flavour.
Enhances soups and salads, and goes really well with mushrooms and cheeses. Use as a garnish or mix with potatoes.
Pea Shoots
These are just the young shoots of the pea plant
A wonderful and tender yet crisp just picked pea flavour.
Perfect in salads and as a garnish, and if you do use in a recipe need minimal cooking. Add to salads, mix in with stir-frys (at the last moment). Work equally well with gammon and asparagus, in risottos and with seafood. Pop some into your sandwiches or serve with cheeses, beetroot and eggs.
