Why does choosing seasonal fruit and vegetables in April make a difference?
April is a month of transition: the last winter produce coexists with the first spring fruits and vegetables. This mix makes shopping more varied and more sustainable.
Choose products seasonal means :
- Reduce environmental impact : fewer heated greenhouses, less long transport, less energy consumed.
- Have more flavor and nutrients : products harvested at their natural moment are richer and more aromatic.
- Support the local supply chain : every purchase becomes a small investment in the local area.
- Reduce waste : seasonality follows natural rhythms, it does not force production.
It’s a simple habit that makes cooking and eating more responsible for yourself and the planet.
