Seasonal tips
“Nature is well made and brings us everything we need at the right time . ”
Yes, because seasonal fruits and vegetables have much more flavor. Out of season, they are not picked when ripe and therefore lose a good portion of their nutrients during transport. Vitamins are very sensitive to air and heat. The more time passes after picking, the more the nutritional quality of the food deteriorates. This is why it is recommended to buy seasonal, fresh, and local products.
Respecting seasonality also means thinking about the environment.
Aside from their seasonality in their country of origin, fruits and vegetables are imported from abroad or grown in greenhouses. Their transportation generates pollution, while indoor cultivation is energy-intensive and pesticide-intensive. Free from import taxes and long transport routes, seasonal produce costs less. This is an environmentally friendly and economical gesture.
