From the moment a fruit or vegetable is picked, intrinsic enzymes will begin to degrade the beneficial compounds present within that food item; an action that can be minimised by closing the distance from farm to fork, reducing the period that food spends in transit and by preserving and storing foods effectively.
We are lucky in Jersey to have an abundance of fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables of the highest quality available to us right here on our doorstep.
By sourcing from local providers, we take steps toward retaining nutrient density, secure quality and freshness and will likely benefit from a nutritional health perspective.
