The five seasons of Rungis

Everybody who stands close to nature and believes in the power of every season, can´t avoid it; there are five unique seasons, with fruits, vegetables and herbs which are authentic for that time of year.

Rungis has 5 seasons with potatoes, fruits and vegetables: winter, spring, early summer, summer and autumn. Fruits and vegetables, harvested in their own season, are tastier, cheaper and ‘greener’. If it also comes from the area where they originally came from, where their roots are, the taste is optimal. Sounds easy, and actually it is.

The way winter tastes

Beets, cabbage, sprouts; don’t say the winter is a less wealthy season. And what about all the citrus, which is now at its best.

The way spring tastes

A new spring… new flavors. Celebrate spring with creamy white asparagus, flowers on the plate and lettuce with the dew still on it.

Springseason

The way early summer tastes

It’s time for flowers. In fact, they are allowed on the plate. Along with all those wonderful fresh lettuces the early summer brings you.

The way summer tastes

The summer with its abundance: plenty of choice, plenty of flavors and most of all, plenty of color. Juicy ripe tomatoes, sweet peppers and delicious soft eggplants.

Summerseason

The way autumn tastes

Less color, but definitely no less flavor. The roots are big and thanks to the lower temperature, pleasantly sweet.

Autumnseason

The quality of their stuff is also three levels highter than before. But what i'm most happy about is the service of Rungis. I have never experiences this in twenty years in the hospitality industry.

They know: vegetables are the base for making a great dish. They don’t let you wait an entire week before something’s there. They have everything, from small farmers to international products.
