A season for figs

Dear All,

Going into September, the Summer fruit season has certainly started coming to an end. For this reason, I have changed the fruit mix to reflect this:

• Blueberries are out. We have now included them for several weeks in our fruit baskets but availability and, subsequently, quality is down. You want to avoid blueberries when some punnets start appearing with mould …
• Figs are in. The season for figs has started! Figs are a good source of potassium, a mineral that helps to control blood pressure. This is important because most diets are poor in potassium. At the moment they come from Turkey (the Greek ones are still a bit green) but availability will spread Eastwards along the Mediterranean basin countries as the season progresses.

Have a fruitful week!
