A healthy and balanced diet should always include at least five pieces of fruit and vegetables. And if they are in season, so much the better. The Ministry of Consumer Affairs has launched its #EatInSeason campaign to promote the consumption of these foods while respecting their natural growth cycle, ensuring the maximum flavour of each product and their best conditions, given their proximity and freshness. In addition, being a much more sustainable practice with nature. So take note of the list we share with you below to take it into account when you go to your next shopping.
Seasonal fruits
In the fruit section, if this season you want to consume more responsibly and savour the best foods, as well as looking after your health and that of the planet, these are the fruits that we recommend in April.
Avocado, raspberry, strawberry, kiwi, lemon, orange, loquat, banana and grapefruit are a must in your basket.
