Canning fruits and vegetables

A plentiful and appealing array of vegetables is yours to discover! Your METRO’s Saveurs et fraîcheur counters are always overflowing with freshness and the promise of exquisite flavours, textures, colours and… healthful variety! Everyone is looking for ways to serve more vegetables as part of a well-balanced, nutritious diet and your METRO grocer wants to help!

Vegetables no longer play second fiddle at the dinner table and Quebec farmers play an important role in providing all these interesting and flavourful products. Did you know that Quebec growers produce over forty different vegetables? From garlic to zucchini, cabbage to fennel, METRO offers a large variety of top-quality locally-grown vegetables at competitive prices. And most of these vegetables are available year-round. In fact, while some local harvests are sold right away during peak season from May to October, others are kept and stored under specific conditions so that they may also be offered in the off season. And let’s not forget all our greenhouse-grown products such as fresh herbs and beautiful tomatoes that are now available even in January and would have been the envy of many cooks just a few years ago!

Of course, to meet the demands and wishes of gourmets of all stripes, METRO also imports vegetables that can surprise even the most adventurous of gourmets! Just think of a Jerusalem artichoke puree, chayote salad or sautéed bok choy.

To make it easier for you to buy and discover new products, your METRO green grocer has divided all these flavourful vegetables into ten families: mushrooms, bulb vegetables, leaf vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, fruit vegetables, root vegetables, stem vegetables, tuber vegetables, legumes and herbs. The most colourful and varied vegetable platter you’ve ever seen…
