Grapevine
In a nutshell...
Put Some Real
Cheer* in
Your Hamper
by the KERNEL
In the next month of or so you may begin
notice a new logo cropping up in your
local store.
This will be the Grape Tree GuaranTee.
And while there is a little light-hearted
touch in there with the capital T in the word
GuaranTee I can assure you that what it
represents is very serious indeed.
This is our commitment to you, the customer.
It commits us to working tirelessly to bring you
choice, quality and value. You can find the full
wording on page 4.
And this is not just one of those New Year’s
resolutions which will be forgotten by
summer. It is a lasting declaration of our
honest intent. We mean it.
Of course many of you will be thinking that
you deserve nothing less. And I agree with
you. It is only because of your support that we
have been able to celebrate our third birthday
with over 60 shops already in operation and
the prospect of more still to come in 2016
and beyond.
But talking of New Year resolutions I must
tell you that on a personal basis I plan to
greet 2016 with a new attitude to my diet.
Out will go pastries, bread, rice, pasta and
potatoes and in will come a new focus on
wholefoods that have not been tampered with
by the manufactured food industry. I plan to
drink more water and none of that heavily
processed orange juice. I will also take
more exercise.
If all this sounds terribly earnest then I should
stress that there is no great sense of sacrifice
or self-denial about my lifestyle overhaul. In
fact I am looking forward to it and am keenly
anticipating a new sense of purpose.
It is certainly not going to hinder myself and
the family having a jolly festive holiday.
I do hope you have a very Merry Christmas
and a happy New Year. It is one of the things
I can’t guarantee of course. But I do wish it for
you most sincerely.
Nick Shutts
Founder of Grape Tree.

That’s foods which are Christmasy,
*Health
boosting, Energy packed,
Exceptionally nutritious, Rich in
minerals, vitamins and protein.
It’s time to start your
hamper planning. If you
are creating one as a gift
then you will want to make
sure it has ingredients that
have the rich taste of the
traditionally festive.
But you will also want to
make sure that the foods
you choose bring with them
a promise of future health
and lasting well-being.
After all what more
generous gift could you
give?
And of course if you are
creating a hamper for
yourself and your family
you will want nothing less
than the best ho-ho-whole
food experience free from
additives, colourants,
flavourings and artificial
sweeteners.
So we have put together
our guide to our top festive
foods for 2015 aiming to
combine timeless tradition
with 21st century nutritional
science. We want to ensure
that Christmas is not only
jolly. But is jolly good for
you as well.
A hundred years ago West
Country carol singers might
never of heard of Vitamin K
and dietary fibre but that’s
what they were getting in
the figgy pudding they
sang for.
It is no coincidence that all
of our hamper choices –
with the exception of cashew
nuts – find their way into
one Christmas cake recipe
or another.
And take nuts for example.
Their role in mid-winter
feasting goes back
thousands of years. But it is
only now that science has
demonstrated that people
who eat nuts regularly
actually live longer.
They have, after all, been
part of the British Christmas
for generations – some of
them for centuries.
Those who eat just a
handful a day cut their risk
of dying over the next three
decades by 20 per cent.
But each of them has, in
recent years, also been
shown to have nutrients that
have vitally important parts
to play in our well-being.
Which means that nut
eaters not only have a
happier yuletide they are
likely to see many more
of them!
Brazils Probably the richest natural source of selenium.
Just two nuts a day will provide you with your daily requirement
of this trace element that plays a vital role in the functioning of
our immune system.A handful of Brazils contains over a quarter
of our daily requirement for magnesium which helps with
muscle function and absorbing energy from food. It also
has phosphorous, manganese, zinc and Vitamin E.
Figs The old carol “We wish you a Happy
Christmas” contains the line “now bring us
some figgy pudding”. So there’s a wealth of
tradition in figs as well as calcium, copper,
potassium, magnesium and selenium. A
couple of figs (which counts as one of your five a day)
contains as much as a sixth of your daily fibre requirement
and ten per cent of your need for Vitamin K. As well as
puddings they feature in many Christmas cake recipes.
Chocolate Brazils We are also
including the chocolate covered variety—both
dark and milk. Remember that it was only
earlier this year that British research showed
how those who eat chocolate actually
decreased their risk of both heart attack and
stroke. And well it is Christmas. (see page 4)
Crystallized Ginger Just an out-and-out Christmas
treat? Well it contains the vitamins C and B6 as well as
calcium, potassium and magnesium. It also has antiinflammatory compounds called gingerols linked
to reducing arthritis pain. And if it comes with a
fair amount of sugar it is free of dyes and additives
and adds a special zing to all kinds of recipes from ice
cream to hot puddings. As a breakfast booster chop it
into porridge or granola.
Apricots
Mary Berry includes apricots in her
classic Christmas Cake recipe. Which is obviously
because of the taste and not because they are an
excellent source of Vitamin A and C
and minerals including potassium,
iron, zinc, calcium and manganese.
Vitamin A helps the immune system.
Vitamin C has a key role in the growth
and repair of tissue. Apricots are a rich
source of catechins which are the same
phytonutrients found in green tea. And
contain carotenoids and xanthophylls
which have been linked to eye health.
Dates
Dates not only find their way into the cake but can
also add a festive touch to your morning granola. Or even chef
Nigel Slater’s date and bacon breakfast butty in which you roll
each date with a slice of bacon and then fry. They are a quality
source of fibre and an excellent source of iron, for healthy
blood, and potassium which has a role in heart rate and blood
pressure. They are also rich in essential minerals and pack a
touch of vitamins K and B.
Almonds
If they’re not in the Christmas
cake then they crop up in the mince pies and
even in with the Brussels sprouts. A handful
provides half of our daily need for vitamin B6,
essential for the nervous and immune systems, and
three quarters of our requirement for Vitamin E, which
has a key role in heart function. They are also a good
source of magnesium (for energy), potassium
(fluid balance) and calcium (for bone health).
Hazel Nuts The reason we eat so many nuts at
Christmas may well be down to the history of the hazelnut.
It was, after all, one of the naturally occurring foodstuffs
that could be stored for the big mid-winter feast. And they
were well worth storing. High in monu-unsaturated fats and
rich in protein and carbohydrates they are also have the B
vitamin complex- B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin),
B6 and B9 (folic acid).
Walnuts
Cashew Nuts For vegetarians cashews are the
centrepiece of the Christmas nut roast. They have a lower
fat content than most other nuts and most of it
is monounsaturated. Protein rich they are
also a great source of essential minerals
iron, critical for the blood and zinc which
helps the immune system. They also have
manganese, potassium and copper. A handful
of cashews contains almost a quarter of our
daily need for magnesium, which helps turn
food into energy.
A rich source of Vitamin
E, the antioxidant which protects
cell membranes and strengethens the
immune system as well as maintaining
healthy skin and eyes. They are also
a powerhouse of nutrients including
manganese, copper, iron, calcium and
phosphorous and are a good source of fibre
and protein. Being rich in omega 3 oils
they are also linked to fighting cholesterol
levels. Research has shown that regular
walnut eaters improve their memory and
powers of concentration.

Grapevine
Help Us Make It A
Truly “Feel Good”
Festive Season
The Grape Tree campaign to help national cancer support charity
Look Good Feel Better has made a super start....thanks to you.
We agreed to help raise much-needed cash for LGFB in its support
for women of all ages being treated for all types of cancer.
LGFB helps women and teenagers manage the visible side effects of
cancer treatment. This year, through its free skincare and make-up
Workshops and Masterclasses, it will support over 15,000 women.
For the month of September we pledged 50p from the sale of every
1kg pack of especially labelled apricots to help with the work.
Shops also gave customers the chance to buy LGFB supermarket
trolley keyrings or to make a direct contribution in the pink collection
tins on every counter.
Your generosity has so far put £2,500 into LGFB funds.
And so we have decided to keep the pink collection tins and the key
ring sales in store until the end of the year in the hope that we can hit
a £5,000 total.
This is such a great cause I
know that we can hit our target.
“I’m delighted with the start we have made” says Grape Tree
Founder Nick Shutts “and so we have decided to keep going
throughout the Christmas period. I know that many of our customers
have already made more than one contribution. I thank them
sincerely. But there are others who have not yet had the chance
to give. And this is such a great cause I know that we can hit our
target.”
The money raised will help fund LGFB’s two hour Workshops with
specially trained beauty volunteers who share tips and techniques to
help with eyebrow loss and changes to the skin. As well as changing
appearance the sessions are also a major boost for self-confidence
allowing women who are in the same situation to meet and share
experiences.
As LGFB told us, “We are thrilled to be receiving your support.
For the majority of Grape Tree shops there is a LGFB service within
20 miles. So the funds being raised are helping local women living
with cancer. Every pound raised makes a difference.”
Workshops are held on a monthly basis in 81 hospitals across the
UK with a further 8 locations planned for 2016.

Is Christma
We are all going to
have to face up to it.
Is all that chocolate
that seems to end
up in the house at
Christmas a yuletide
health menace or a
festive superfood?
It’s a question that has
been keenly debated since
the discovery that the Kuna
Indians of Panama-who drink
large quantities of cocoa- had
very low blood pressures. High
blood pressure is,
of course, a major caused of
heart disease and stroke.
But they also point out that
chocolate – dark or milk – does
not consist simply of cocoa. It
also contains sugar and fat.
The issue was given a new
edge earlier this year when a
study into the eating habits of
21,000 adults in Norfolk over
12 years showed that those
who eat chocolate regularly
had an 11 per cent lower risk
of cardiovascular disease and
a 25 per cent lower risk of
premature death.
End of story? Not quite.
And nutritionists are in no
doubt that cacoa is a good
source of iron, magnesium,
manganese, phosphorous
and zinc as well as the
important antioxidants
catechins and procyanidins.
GuaranTee
You are now covered
by the Grape Tree
GuaranTee. This is
our pledge to all our
customers that we are
doing our best for you.
In full the Guarantee
reads:
“We promise to work
tirelessly to bring you foods
from around the world that offer Tree-mendous Value,
Tree-mendous Choice and Tree-mendous Quality. So if
you are not entirely satisfied by the quality of any Grape
Tree product you buy we promise to replace it free of
charge. This does not affect your statutory rights.”
So in 2016 you will be seeing the GuaranTee on packaging
and in store as a reminder that every day we are doing our
best for you. See In A Nutshell Page 2.
as chocolate a life saver?
Experts, including the British Dietetic
Association, point out that the study did
not prove cause and effect. The chocolate
eaters in the study – who eat on average
two bars a day – were younger, had lower
BMIs, lower blood pressure and did more
exercise. The non-chocolate eaters may
have stopped eating it because of health
issues already identified.
But in 2012 a well regarded study into
the leading research findings concluded
that chocolate products may help lower
blood pressure slightly. Some laboratory
experiments have shown that a cocoa
rich diet offered some protection against
bowel cancer in animals.
And it has also been suggested that
flavanoids – found in chocolate and red
wine- might accelerate wound healing.
Most independent experts agree that
eating chocolate in moderation does
not detectably increase the risk of heart
attack and may have some benefit.
The BDA concludes “Chocolate eaten
too frequently is an unhealthy choice.
As an occasional treat it can be part of
a healthy diet”.
Well Christmas only comes around
occasionally doesn’t it?

TEN
THINGS
But a cranberry is not just for
Christmas. They are a key part
of hundreds of baking recipes
for cakes, muffins, cookies,
biscuits and breads. They can form part
of salads or coleslaw and even salad
dressings. They can go into your granola
or your breakfast pancakes and even give
a new twist to cheese toasties. They can
form part of casseroles and many meat
dishes particularly pork. As well as giving
a new zest to sweets including bread
and butter pudding, apple crumble,
cheesecakes and jellies.

YOU NEVER
KNEW
ABOUT...
Cranberries
Cranberries are the fruit of an
evergreen trailing shrub that
was named “craneberry” by
early European settlers in North
American who were struck by the fact that the
plant’s stem and flower looked like the head
and neck of a crane. There is a European
cranberry traditionally known in the UK as a
fenberry but it is the bigger American variety
that has become the centre of the global fruit
and juice industry based in the North East of
the US and the Canadian provinces of New
Brunswick and Ontario covering an area of
almost 50,000 acres.
1
To thrive the vines require layered
beds of sand, gravel and clay
which mimic their natural home
in glacial deposits. Farmers
create fields surrounded by earth
banks which can retain water and known as
bogs. When the fruit is ripe – in September
or October – they flood the growing beds,
covering the vines with around six inches
of water. Harvest machinery – known as
eggbeaters – then churn the water and
loosen the berries which float to the surface
because each one has four small air pockets.
Hoses then suck the berries into trucks.
2
The tribes of Native Americans
had long used the berries as
food and included them in the
legendary “survival” dried meat
ration called pemmican. They believed in the
medicinal qualities of the berry and used in to
treat wounds as well as pressing the red juice
to use as a dye for blankets and clothing.
Settlers rapidly adopted the berry – but it was
not until the 1800s that commercial farming
began. By 1820 the first berries were shipped
to Europe. Some vines in Massachusetts,
planted soon after this period, are still in
production.

For decades families have
regarded cranberry juice as the
stand-by cure for cystitis and
other urinary tract infections.
But in 2012 a major review of 24 research
projects cast doubt over its effectiveness
except for women who drink two glasses
of juice every day. A year later Canadian
researchers showed – in the laboratory –
that cranberry powder had some success
in fighting a bacterium commonly linked
to urinary tract infections. The NHS
recommends that cranberry juice or
cranberry extracts “may prevent urinary
tract infections”.
4
Cranberry sauce was invented
by a New Jersey grower called
Elizabeth Lee who one day
decided to cook some of her
damaged fruit instead of throwing it
away. It eventually became part of the
traditional Thanksgiving dinner and was
then exported to Europe. The berries
have also found their way into recipes for
mince pies, trifles and even the Christmas
cake itself. Then there’s the festive drinks.
There are a glowing array of recipes for
cranberry punch – warm or cold – and
cranberry champagne cocktails. Then
there’s the renowned Cosmopolitan
cocktail- 3 parts vodka, 1 part cointreau,
2 parts cranberry juice and 1 part fresh
lime juice. Shake or stir with ice cubes and
then pour. Merry Christmas!

Cranberries – like many other
fruits and vegetables – are a
source of polyphenols also
called phenolics. Research
continues into the links between these
antioxidants and heart disease, the immune
system and cancer. However there is as
yet no evidence from research involving
humans that consuming cranberry
polyphenols provides health benefits.
Cranberries are an important
source of Vitamin C, fibre and
that vital mineral manganese.
A one cup serving of berries
contains as much as a quarter of our
daily requirement for Vitamin C which
we cannot store in the body and need to
replace every day. It plays a key role in the
growth and repair of tissue and is involved
in the creation of collagen important for
the skin, bones and blood vessels. It also
contains antioxidants. Fibre, says the NHS,
can help prevent heart disease, diabetes,
weight gain and some cancers yet most
of us get barely a half the amount we
need. Cranberries also contain Vitamin E,
Vitamin K and copper.
8
The cranberry market is
dominated by the giant US
farmer co-operative Ocean
Spray which was formed
by three producers in 1930 and now
has 700 farmer members. It generates
annual sales of over $2 billion and every
year sells 80 million cans of cranberry
sauce -80per cent of them between
September and December. Ocean Spray
led the industry out of its worst crisis –
the Great Cranberry Scare of 1959. An
announcement by the US Department
of Health that some the crop was tainted
with traces of the herbicide aminotriazole
led to a market collapse.
9
Anyone taking the anticoagulant drug warfarin is
warned to take special care
when consuming cranberries.
Official advice states “Cranberry juice
can increase the effects of warfarin so you
should avoid drinking it regularly if you
are taking the drug. However having the
occasional small glass of cranberry juice
is unlikely to cause problems”. If in any
doubt consult your doctor.

But Margaret Barnett has taken that to a
whole new level. Her trip to her local Grape
Tree in the Arndale Centre, Eastbourne
made her the £10,000 winner of a brand
new Aga cooker.
It happened because the East Sussex
grandmother on one of her regular
Grape Tree shopping trips entered the first
competition of her life...and won it.
The prize draw was staged by oat company
Mornflake which offered the Aga plus a
full range of cast iron accessories for the
purchaser who sent in the winning code
number from packs on sale nationwide.
The first thing she will cook will be a special
breakfast for all seven members of the
family who share her home – that’s her
husband, two daughters, son-in-law and
two grandchildren aged 2 and 4.
And that breakfast will of course be
porridge.
Grape Tree Founder Nick Shutts said “This
has to be the ultimate ‘feel good’ shopping
trip to date. I’m delighted for Mrs Barnett
and her family.”
Grape Tree shops stock eight different
Mornflake products from Jumbo Oats to
Very Berry Muesli.
