The produce expert
Our METRO produce 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 Ontario 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 produce Gardens of Nature 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 produce expert 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 produce expert will be more than happy to assist you and answer any other questions you may have!
