Whether you’re looking for an organic dessert for tonight’s tea, or hosting a fabulous dinner party, our delicious meringues will save you time and effort, and make it a meal to remember. What are they made of? We use our own fresh organic egg whites and raw organic cane sugar. Using organic cane sugar reduces the sickly sweetness of refined sugar and gives the meringues an attractive ivory colour. We’ve reduced the sugar contet and eaten on their own they have no fat and one meringue is equivalent to less than 2 teaspoons of sugar. However it has to be said they’re the perfect compliment to fresh fruit and a dollop of gorgeous organic cream or icecream. Click here to find our stockists.

The team at the Riverford shops were more than keen to stock meringues made from fresh ingredients and actively encouraged us to clear the Environmental Health hurdles and have a go. In the Spring of 2007 we started production in our kitchen at home and managed to satisfy the local EHO that we could keep raw and cooked eggs apart. Despite the appalling weather that Summer, sales were good and we achieved Organic status in September. Since then, we have moved our production to an organically registered kitchen near Exeter, but still make them ourselves using our own eggs and organic cane sugar.
