Therefore some growers use slurry or “compost tea” which act much faster but can only be used up to 100 days before harvest which is sometimes longer than the entire growing cycle. Therefore this rule may not always be respected and can then lead to E. coli outbreaks. There exists alternative sources e.g. natural mineral nitrogen, that are risk free.

The recipe calls for watercress, but as the market didn’t have that, I picked up the spinach instead as a substitute. The next day, the news came out about the spinach recall. I have written about it here but decided to link here in case there are some readers keeping tabs on this. As I mentioned in my post at my personal food blog, I’ve contacted Earthbound Farms and will update as soon as I get a response.
