Our process
From field to can: what “harvested with care” means
Harvest, grade, prepare, pack, seal and cook. The six steps between the farm and your kitchen shelf.
Canning is one of the oldest ways to keep food at its best. Done well, it locks in the flavour and texture of produce picked at the right moment.
Harvest
Vegetables and fruits are picked at maturity, when flavour and texture are at their peak.
Grade and prepare
Produce is washed, graded for size and prepared: trimmed, sliced or left whole depending on the product.
Pack and seal
Each can is filled with produce and brine, syrup or sauce, then sealed airtight.
Cook in the can
Sealed cans are heat-processed, which cooks the contents and makes them shelf-stable without the need for refrigeration.
Label and store
Every can is coded and labelled with its use-by date before it leaves for distributors and kitchens.
That is the journey behind every Rootin can: pure harvest, ready for business.
