At Coöperatie Hoogstraten, you can find delicious pumpkins in all shapes and colors. These are the ideal flavor enhancers in the autumn and winter months. With pumpkins, you can conjure up delicious soups and curries, but did you know that pumpkin is also suitable for a whole range of other preparations? Such as raw, roasted, pureed, stewed, or even as a filling for bread and pastries. Moreover, pumpkins are bursting with good properties.
Pumpkins are best stored in dry, dark places and are available from August to December.
These strawberries are slightly smaller than standard strawberries, and we have 3 varieties in our range.
Pineberry: a special strawberry with a white to light pink color and red seeds. Deliciously fresh and sweet taste reminiscent of pineapple.
Raspberry strawberry: this strawberry has deep-set seeds and a deep red color, just like a raspberry. It has a surprisingly sweet and juicy taste.
Peach strawberry: this strawberry has deep-set seeds and a soft pink color, just like a peach. It tastes refined, sweet and juicy.
All these special strawberries are a natural cross between two strawberry varieties. They are beautiful as decoration, but also delicious as a snack.
In addition, we have had Summer Whites strawberries since this year. These special strawberries are white in color and deliciously sweet. They can be found in a duo pack together with our delicious red strawberries in some stores.
Products that we also offer and market through guest auctions include courgettes, gherkins, asparagus, cauliflower, radishes, and aubergines.
We do this because our main goal is to bring healthy and safe food to the market at the best price for our members. To achieve this, we work closely with organizations that, like us, strive for the highest quality. Other cooperatives can offer their products to us (and vice versa) without growers having to be affiliated. This guest auction clearly pays off. We have been mixing our product range with that of fellow cooperatives since 1996.
