Eat seasonally: it’s May!
Here we are again with the grocery shopping list for this month. Get out of your comfort zone and try new and delicious vegetables and fruits.
Spring is the perfect time to indulge in beautiful colors and tastes. Vegetables and fruits are not only healthy and a great source of vitamins and minerals, but they just taste good!
Go for a walk at your local farmers market and ask for the best choice of everything. Depend on the weather of your town, you might find everything that is in our grocery list or you might have to wait for a few more weeks. Don’t be shy and ask for help!
Farmers are really glad to explain and give you the best products they can. And remember: eating seasonally is important not only for your health, but also for your wallet.
Usually, whenever you shop for seasonal vegetables and fruits, you save a lot of money. Moreover, it’s good for our Mother Earth!

May shopping list
Eat seasonally: it’s May and it is the last month of the spring season. We’re almost ready for summer time! Traditionally, May is also the month when people get married. So much love! The name May might come from Maia, the fertility goddess.
There are so many proverbs about this incredible month.
Here one of them: in May, start saving wood and cheese. Depending on the weather of this Month, the harvest will be good or not. May can be warm, but it doesn’t have to be too warm.
It is also the season of flowering and blossoming, so when you go to the farmers market, look also at the beautiful flowers it may offer.
