Ministers in the Holyrood Parliament are being urged to introduce legislation which sets legally binding targets to protect and restore Scotland's nature.

A new variety of fruit the saskatoon, a small purple-blue coloured berry that is native to Canada, has been hailed as a super-berry. It is high in antioxidants, fibre and Vitamin C as well as low in sugar, and now is grown in Scotland.

Growers have just two and a half hours to get their peas from the field to the freezer to stop them from losing quality, so the frozen peas in the shops have been bagged at peak freshness.
