🥒🇬🇧 Fresh British Marrow – Mild, Tender & Versatile

Our Fresh British Tender Green Marrow is a traditional vegetable with pale, tender flesh and a wonderfully mild flavour that works beautifully in comforting home-cooked dishes.

Closely related to the courgette, marrow is allowed to grow larger before harvesting. Its generous size makes it particularly good for stuffing and baking, while its mild flesh absorbs herbs, spices, sauces and savoury flavours beautifully.

Roast it with garlic and herbs, add chunks to curries and casseroles, turn it into fritters or fill it with a rich homemade stuffing.

Our Fresh British Tender Green Marrow is a wonderfully versatile choice for traditional and modern cooking.

Mild. Tender. Versatile. Proper British comfort food. 🥒✨

Tender seeds from younger vegetables can be eaten, but larger mature seeds are usually removed before cooking.

Can you roast Marrow?

Absolutely. Slice or cube it and roast with olive oil, garlic and herbs until tender.

What goes well with Marrow?

Tomatoes, garlic, onion, cheese, chilli, herbs, curry spices and savoury mince all pair particularly well.

How should Fresh British Marrow be stored?

Keep it refrigerated once you get it home, particularly during warmer weather. Once cut, cover the exposed flesh and refrigerate.
