New arrivals to Ireland tend to find our supermarket fruit and veg pretty to look at but somewhat tasteless. Ireland also faces an obesity crisis that is linked to ultra-processed foods. But the Romancing Ireland challenge, which saw non-Irish nationals cook versions of their homelands’ favourite dishes using only Irish ingredients, proved that Ireland has wonderful ingredients that are bursting with flavour and nourishment. This episode looks at three key ways to find local, seasonal and sustainable Irish products that are good for both personal health and the health of the planet. We meet a man who is growing his own, a community that are growing together and a local farming family that are growing ethically for their local community.
