Change your meals with the seasons
With every season comes a range of flavoursome fruit and vegetables that flourish in different conditions, and choosing to follow this pattern with your eating has so many benefits.
Our chefs are committed to bringing seasonal produce to your plate every single day, so you know that in our canteens your favourite meal will always be fresh.
Why eat seasonally?
- Better taste: Seasonal produce is harvested at peak ripeness, meaning it's fresher and tastier than out-of-season imports. Pesticides and chemicals are usually used to preserve unseasonal ingredients, so the quicker they get to your plate the better.
- Better for the planet: These intensive farming methods also use a lot of resources and come with huge carbon footprints, increased further by flying in out-of-season produce overseas.
- Better for local farmers: If you're buying your fresh ingredients locally they you're helping sustain the agricultural industry and rural communities.
- Better for your wallet: Seasonal fruits and veggies tend to be more affordable because there is more of them.
