It’s easy to bake with Fairtrade ingredients, according to South Holland Fairtrade Group chairman Sarah Chadd.
She says Fairtrade ingredients are widely available in supermarkets and smaller shops.
These days, it’s possible to buy Fairtrade rice, pasta, all the different sugars, dried fruits, Golden Syrup, chocolate and other ingredients.
Sarah said: “By choosing to buy these products people know they are getting a good quality product and that the person who produces either the main ingredient or the whole thing has received a fair price for their product, and one that covers their productions costs.
“Also there is a premium on top that they can use in their communities or cooperative, because quite often these small producers come together to form cooperatives.”
South Holland Fairtrade Group holds a coffee morning each year but is holding a second on October 16 (9.30am) at the Spalding council offices.
