Do you know, which season is the best for each veggie or fruit to consume?
It’s true that technology evolution has a great impact to our food and how it is developed. We have the opportunity to consume every kind of fruit and vegetable during the entire year. However, it’s also true that each fruit or veggie needs the proper weather conditions and a proper maturing time.
