Seasonal calendar
For example, seasonal calendars can be found on the Internet to find freshly harvested produce in the supermarket. This benefits both health and the ecosystem, making it ideal for nutritionally and environmentally conscious consumers. Seasonal calendars are available for vegetables, fruits and salads.
What foods are typically in season?
When it comes to lettuce, the end consumer has a good supply all year round. In summer, the market offers lettuce as well as iceberg lettuce or arugula at the regional market. In winter there is again chicory or freshly harvested lamb’s lettuce. Thus, a colorful selection is continuously offered, which is beneficial to health. The fruit harvest starts in April with rhubarb and continues with apples, cherries and berries. The harvest lasts until October, depending on the type of fruit. In winter, however, the selection of regional products is limited, so that here must be resorted to imported goods. But this does not always have to be a bad thing, after all, there are imported goods from controlled organic cultivation, which are harvested under fair conditions, so that the ecological balance is moderate to good.
Regional vegetables
Regional vegetables Regional vegetables are mainly available in the period from July to October, or between this period the market offers the largest variety of vegetables. Apart from this, there are vegetables that are grown in winter, such as kale. Staple foods are also available as so-called stored products throughout the year, such as potatoes, red cabbage or onions, although product freshness decreases depending on the storage period.
The nutritional content of all varieties is fundamental to health, so the need is basically year-round, although depending on the season, the focus of consumption shifts to certain foods. Finally, all varieties have essential nutrients that are important for our health.
