Discover the taste of Northland with our award-winning Kūmara and Banana Chutney. This isn't your average chutney; it’s a chunky, textured delight packed with Kaipara red kūmara and Whangārei-grown bananas. In a nod to sustainability and flavour, we include the banana skins, which cook down into tender, sweet strips that you can see and taste in every spoonful.
Enhanced with mixed citrus peel, coconut, and a hint of spice, it’s a versatile condiment that bridges the gap between sweet and savoury. Perfect for glazing meats, livening up a curry, or simply eaten with a sharp cheese.
