Tom Aikens: Food Spy

Clearspring Fruit Fusion Organic Fruit Purée Desserts are a good way to get one of your five a day and they include 'no nasties'. The best part is that Clearspring products go from fruit to fully packaged purée in less than an hour. They're great as a quick and easy pudding and are ideal for a packed lunch or a picnic. They are also useful for making smoothies (www.clearspring.co.uk).

The Chef's Knife Store is now stocking Naifu professional-quality knives, crafted using the best steel. My personal favourite is the Naifu Ultra range, which is made from German steel and is strong enough to withstand long hard use, even in a busy restaurant kitchen. The handle grips are made from a high-performance polymer, instead of metal, which saves weight and makes a safe, comfortable grip (www.chefsknifestore.co.uk).

Pod serves healthy food made from fresh, seasonal ingredients, served in compostable packaging that can be recycled. This week, it is launching a new range of Superfood Nori Wraps, which are nutritious and ultralow in calories.

Wraps are filled with crunchy vegetables plus a choice of roast chicken, shredded duck or avocado, with soy chilli dressing on the side. Each box contains the chosen wrap, a side portion of coleslaw and a compostable fork for £4.50. There are three outlets in London and deliveries are free in EC2 and EC3 (www.podfood.com).
