The greengrocer
Our METRO
greengrocers’ counters abound with a variety of fruits and
vegetables that only a few years ago would have seemed
unimaginable. Following the seasons and harvests, apples and small
fruits from Quebec line up next to baskets of carambolas and
litchis from Asia, California apricots rest alongside melons from
South America while our greenhouse tomatoes and mini scallop squash
(pattypan) flirt with Italian rapini! And it is not simply a question of variety; most importantly it is a question of freshness. The progress made in the areas of transportation and preservation enables us to discover new products that are light-years from the standard “minced meat with creamed corn and potatoes.”
A whole world of flavours and discoveries awaits at your METRO greengrocer's Soleil et fraîcheur counter. The health benefits of fruits and vegetables are much too important to be overlooked. Every day, nutritionists discover new virtues and benefits associated with eating more fruits and vegetables on a daily basis.
That is why your METRO greengrocer has amassed a wealth of practical information on the numerous fruits and vegetables offered in the produce counters throughout the year. You will also find tips and advice on the preparation, cooking and nutritional value of different fruits and vegetables. It's all right here!
You will have all the information you need to begin your discovery of fruits and vegetables with which you may be less familiar. Remember that variety is the spice of life! Your Metro greengrocer will be more than happy to assist you and answer any other questions you may have!
