What are the benefits?
Eating seasonal fruit and vegetables means savoring the fresh and tasty products that nature offers us at any time of the year. These foods are grown according to natural rhythms, without the use of chemicals harmful to health and the environment.
Here are some of the main benefits:
Maximum nutritional value
Seasonal fruit and vegetables harvested at zero km are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants essential for our well-being. With a unique and intense flavour, these products contain an optimal concentration of nutrients thanks to their freshness and harvesting at the right time.
Reduction of environmental impact
By choosing fruit and vegetables at zero km, the distance between the producer and the consumer is reduced, limiting fuel consumption for transport and greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, zero km agriculture favors biodiversity and the maintenance of local traditions.
Support to the local economy
By purchasing zero-km seasonal fruit and vegetables, you directly support local farmers and the area's economy. This helps to preserve agricultural communities and keep alive the traditions and knowledge associated with the cultivation of typical local products.

These are just a few examples, but every season gives us a wide variety of fresh and delicious products, ready to enrich our tables and improve our health.

Strawberries offer a powerhouse of vitamin C, while peaches are sweet and juicy, perfect for summer.
Tomatoes and courgettes are the protagonists of summer cuisine, ideal for salads and light dishes. Cucumbers and carrots are fresh and crunchy, perfect for healthy snacks and colorful side dishes. Arugula adds a touch of extra flavor to salads.
