Some helpful tips and answers when deciding what products to choose
What Is Hejgro?
Hejgro is an independent small-batch producer based in Frome, Somerset, creating foraged vegan foods, wild condiments, preserves, vinegars, balms and foraging-related products using seasonal ingredients gathered from local woods, meadows and hedgerows.
Where Are Hejgro Products Made?
Hejgro products are made in Frome, Somerset, using wild ingredients foraged locally wherever possible, alongside carefully chosen plant-based ingredients. The range is rooted in the flavours of the Somerset countryside and the wider South West.
What Does “Foraged Food” Mean?
Foraged food is made using edible wild plants, berries, herbs, flowers or roots gathered from natural landscapes rather than grown as standard commercial crops. At Hejgro, these wild ingredients are used to create distinctive sauces, salts, vinegars, chutneys, jellies and seasonal food products.
Are Hejgro Foods Vegan?
Yes, Hejgro’s food products are plant-based and vegan. The range includes our best-selling Wild Garlic Pesto, Pontack Sauce, Apple And Hawthorn Jelly, Dandy Root Chutney, Elderflower Infused Cider Vinegar and Wild Garlic Salt.
Are Hejgro Products Gluten-Free?
Yes, all Hejgro products are gluten-free. The food range is made without gluten-containing ingredients, making it suitable for people looking for gluten-free foraged foods, condiments, preserves, vinegars and seasonings. It is always recommended to still check all individual product labels before ordering anything if you have a severe allergy or intolerance.

What Are The Benefits Of Wild Foraged Preserves?
Wild foraged preserves bring distinctive seasonal flavours that you do not usually find in standard shop-bought jams, chutneys and condiments. They make use of naturally growing ingredients such as berries, flowers, herbs, roots and wild greens that are commonly used in many traditional remedies. All Hejgro products are produced in small batches with locally sourced ingredients in order to help maximise nutrition and freshness.
