You've probably read or heard it before, we are big proponents of eating according to the seasons. That means eating foods that are currently available in your area or in our own country.
In ancient times in prehistoric times they also ate only seasonal foods, which contained much more nutrients. In today's time we live in, all sorts of things can be delivered from abroad and there is mass production. The downside of this is that along the way during transportation the nutrients in the food decrease by the day, by the time it is on your kitchen counter the product contains a lot less nutrients than if it was grown locally.
In maart gaan we weer richting de Lente, het wordt langer licht, we kunnen de eerste kuikentjes en de lammetjes spotten en je vindt meer verschillende en kleurrijke groentes uit de volle grond dan in de winter. Dat maakt het een stuk makkelijk om meer kleur op je bord te krijgen en te variëren in de verschillende heerlijke groentes & fruit.
