Buy European Fruit & Veg in Season
Oops!: This list works best for central and northern Europe. Eating seasonal fruits and vegetables isn’t just a trend - it’s a smarter, more sustainable choice. Here’s why:
✔ Better Taste & Nutrition: Harvested at the right time, seasonal produce is fresher, tastier, and more nutrient-rich.
✔ Supports Local Farmers: Choosing local keeps European agriculture thriving and ensures fair wages.
✔ Lower Carbon Footprint: Reduces emissions from long-distance food transport and unnecessary packaging.
✔ More Variety: Each season brings different fruits and vegetables, adding diversity to your diet.
✔ More Affordable: In-season produce is often cheaper because it’s abundant and requires less artificial cultivation.
💡 Final Thought:
Eating local and in-season means fresher meals, a healthier planet, and a stronger economy. Next time you shop, choose what’s in season and taste the difference!
