Nurdle hunting on Comino at Santa Marija Bay
Every day, millions of tiny plastic pellets known as nurdles spill into the environment. These small, lentil-sized beads, typically about 2–5 millimetres in diameter and often round or oval in shape, are the raw material for most plastic products, from bottles to packaging, and they’re causing a quiet but serious environmental crisis. In Malta, as across the world, they wash up on our beaches, pollute the sea, and harm marine life.
Seasonal Recipe: Soft Peach – Peach Cake and Peach Ice Cream
Seasonal ingredient: peaches! Peaches in Malta are prized for their flavor, especially flat peach varieties. The taste is markedly richer due to Malta’s sun-drenched climate and quick-to-market handling. One visitor compared the experience of tasting them to “a party in my mouth,” praising their superior sweetness and tenderness compared to peaches from other regions.
Seasonal Recipe: Wild Velvet – Purslane Pesto on Sweet Potato
Today's harvested ingredient: purslane! Purslane is one of the few wild greens that remain vibrant and edible throughout the hot summer drought, when most other greens have withered. It’s often mistaken for a weed, but it's one of the most nutritious wild plants around, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and perfect for summer cooking.
