What to put in your shopping cart among fruits and vegetables in March, when spring is just around the corner
March is the month when winter gives way to spring, with longer, generally warmer days, and several new fruits and vegetables that we can bring to our tables.
Eating seasonal products , as we know, is good for everyone: first of all for our wallet, because they cost less , and then for those who consume them, because they do not contain pesticides and are rich in nutrients. They are also better and tastier than those out of season, which instead tend to lose flavor and aroma.
Finally, another very important aspect, consuming seasonal fruit and vegetables is more respectful towards the environment ! Because to grow what would not grow naturally, in a certain period of the year, heated greenhouses, high energy consumption, pesticides and fertilizers are needed.
If the products you are going to buy are also Km 0 , even better!
