No unnecessary Food Miles

We’re always looking forward to the Dutch white asparagus. A proper seasonal product from nearby, something The Netherlands can be proud of. Less attention is paid to the Dutch green asparagus. At Rungis we think this is completely unjust.

At this time you should pick the green asparagus from Holland, you’ll save over 10.000 km of Food Miles compared to the import asparagus. The benefits for you as a Chef by choosing the Dutch greens are the perfect freshness, the best taste and the right price. Also your story at the table is as solid as a rock. Embrace the seasons!

Did you know green asparagus are from the same plant as the white ones? All that has to be done differently is to let them grow above the ground. The season wil run till june 24th, just like the white ones.

Rungis has everything, really everything. And what they don't have, they will arrange for you. They think along. When during a concert of Lady Gaga i want to make freaky dishes, the will find me freaky vegetables.

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.
