Great article written by my amazing daughter, Jasmine El Samad, about our lovely friends and owners of local business hello DODO

With a range of recognisable designs from ‘Koality Merchandise’ to ‘Gull Power’, Hello DODO is a pillar of West Sussex’s indie business scene. An obsession with screen-printing has led to a whirlwind of opportunities for the couple who met at university. Hello DODO is the most joyful brand...

Scientists Discover New Hybrid Fruit—The Bananaberry…

Exciting news from the world of fresh produce! After years of research, agricultural scientists have finally unveiled the Bananaberry—a mind-blowing hybrid between a banana and a blueberry. This revolutionary fruit combines the creamy texture of a banana with the bursting juiciness of a blueberry, creating a one-of-a-kind snack that peels like a banana but pops in your mouth like a berry.

Even better - It never goes brown and is naturally self-peeling thanks to its ultra-thin, biodegradable skin! The Bananaberry is also rumoured to contain twice the potassium of a banana and triple the antioxidants of a blueberry, making it the ultimate superfood.

Supplies are extremely limited, but we might have a few arriving at Souk this week… Keep your eyes peeled!

A little update…

I’ve been receiving lots of lovely messages from many of you asking whether we are returning to West Worthing. Unfortunately, for many reasons, we couldn’t make it work.

As many of you know, we relocated our fruit and veg offering to Shoreham-by-Sea a few months ago and now I’m thrilled to share what we’ve been working on for some time.

With effect from this weekend, we’re not only offering our fresh fruit and veg but also introducing a range of treats we’ve missed from the good old days. Starting this weekend, you can pick up:

• Bread freshly baked by local Artisan Baker, Coburn and Baker.

• Sausage Rolls, Cookies and Cinnamon Buns from an absolute favourite of ours, Bodhis Kitchen.

• Cakes made with love by Irena’s Cakes and Bakes.

• Award winning Marmalade and Preserves from our friend Jaki the Jam at Perfectly Preserved.

And that’s not all - we’re trying something new too. For the first time, we’re offering coffee!

More exciting products will be added over the coming weeks, and as always, we’re committed to bringing you unique finds that you won’t typically discover in the supermarkets.

We’ve also given our look a little refresh, courtesy of our great friends at Hello dodo. We hope you like it as much as we do.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Your continued support means the world to us.❤️

Closing my shop in 2022 wasn’t just about losing a business, it meant losing our home too. We lived above the shop, and when the doors closed for the last time, we had to start over in more ways than one.

I went from running a shop filled with a wide array of international foods and ingredients to delivering seasonal fruit and veg boxes. It was a huge shift, and the journey hasn’t been easy. But with hard work, determination, and the support of incredible customers who have stuck with me through it all, we’ve kept going.

I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed the face-to-face interaction, the daily chats, the recipe ideas shared over the counter, the sense of community. That’s something I’ll always value.

And now, all that effort has brought me to where I am today, with some exciting news to share very very soon!

Not fruit and vegetable related I know but I am always being asked how Jasmine is doing as she was such a big part of the business back in the early days. She is currently at University in her final year doing a degree in journalism. She has some exciting things coming her way but possibly not as exciting as this that will hopefully start to pave the way for her dream career. She has been chosen from over 600 applicants to write for I’m one incredibly proud mama!
