MAKE the MOST of the SEASON Seasonal fruit is such an amazing ingredient to enjoy while at it’s best. It’s more affordable, easily accessible and much tastier, than when it’s not in season anymore. Another reason why it’s best to eat food that’s in season, is that the nutritional value of the ingredients is optimal. Fresh fruit is also quite versatile. Have you used it in a salad before? No, not a fruit salad for dessert or as part […]
