Sal the Salad is a shapeshifter and comes in many forms. He’ll surprise you with his wide-ranging skills – but at the same time, he’s the reliable, trusty core of this group of friends.

Tom the Tomato is bursting with energy and flavour. Tom is always the first to arrive at the party and the last to leave. He’s also popular with many different social circles, being used in every cuisine.

Cale the Kale is grounded and well rounded. She keeps things humble but, as a superfood, she has hidden talents. Cale might seem like the cool new thing on the block, but fun fact: she was around in the time of the ancient Greeks!

Yolko the Egg is the mother hen of the group. She’s always keeping the other ingredients in check. But once you peel back the shell, Yolko also has a rich inner life of her own.

Brock the Broccoli is a brooding rebel with a heart of gold. He’s been misunderstood for most of his life, told that he’s bland or in bad taste. But thanks to the advocacy of his salad friends, Brock is being recognised for his quiet talents.

Beetrice the Beetroot is the pampered princess of the group. She’s fancy and knows how to make an entrance when she walks into the room. Beetrice is not for everyone, but those who know her love her.
