The month of May is the heart of the spring season. Although the weather is often changeable, as soon as the sun comes out the temperatures become warmer and the days become longer.
Shopping during this period is a joy for the eyes and the palate: at the market, in grocery stores and supermarkets, the fruit and vegetable stalls are enriched with colors and welcome some of the tastiest and most genuine foods of the year.
This is the perfect time for example to buy broad beans , but also the ideal time for the juiciest strawberries , for medlars and for the first courgettes . How can we not taste the very first cherries ! While for a few more weeks we can find kiwis and oranges.
So there are still many of the foods that were already on the April shopping list .
As summer approaches, we also need to stock up on vitamins and minerals, and to nourish ourselves with foods rich in water, which are fresh and tasty at the same time.
By following a healthier, more balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables, we will be in great shape even when the very hot days arrive!
