Why choose fruits or vegetables in season?

L hen you walk in the rays Fruits and vegetables your favorite supermarket, you sometimes to come face to face with a punnet of strawberries ... in the month of January ... It is very tempting indeed , but if you take the time to look at customers who also turn around this tray is remarkable Quer, even among the most greedy, distrust, and the tray will be returned in all directions and strawberries, scrutinized and for good reason: the consumer is looking for clues and suspects that the taste will not be at the rendezvous: it is still accepted that Strawberry is a fruit of sun and summer.


What seems to be still visible for strawberries is much less for other fruits or vegetables for which we tend to forget the harvest season of origin.
The ubiquity of these products on our shelves, unimaginable a century ago or Both have obviously several implications other than the lessening of taste - The importance of respecting the natural rhythm of fruit and vegetables consumed in the season now seems acceptable.

On the environmental front, eating fruits and vegetables out of season implies that they come from afar and even from far away and there it spoils: A study (WWF) a bunch asparagus imported from Mexico in February, more than 11000 km, would require 5 liters of oil to come to our Super Market cons about 20 times less if & # 160; we waited to eat the asparagus season in the month ; May for example. The same is & # 160; ; Giant Greenhouses near Almeria in Andalusia
done for strawberries: a kilo of strawberries in winter need 1 liter of oil is 10 to 20 times again. Everyone will understand the impact on the famous greenhouse effect and to urge that such trips, the use of preservatives, pesticides and other means of refrigeration is necessary. To return to our punnet of strawberries in winter, they are usually grown in greenhouses in Andalusia, a land that is not provided for this purpose, which requires enormous quantities of fertilizers and astronomical water to eventually recalled, products that appear to be devoid of taste. Moreover, even local farmers cultivating season off must often resort to heated greenhouses in the winter then a final for the road: a salad in winter glasshouse = 1 liter of oil.

As for taste, fruits and vegetables grown in greenhouses and soilless would be less rich in nutrients than those grown in traditional ways. To be present over a period of time greater on our shelves, they are often harvested before maturity, which generally prevents the development of flavors in these products. On vitamins, they are very sensitive to air, heat and especially the passage of time.

let's not forget that when we buy local fruits and vegetables out of season, that does not favor small producers who often have neither the means nor the desire to grow in greenhouses and so intensive. In high season, many producers will offer their fruits and vegetables. Think aux AMAP (Association pour le Maintien d’une Agriculture Paysanne) qui fournissent des paniers de produits bio de saison cultivés par un agriculteur local.

Enfin si vous achetez vos fruits et légumes de saison, les coûts de production et de transport étant moindres , vous les paierez généralement moins cher.  Alors manger 5 fruits et légumes par jour… d’accord, mais pas n’importe comment...
