When you think of autumn, you think of squash! This vegetable belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family and there are many varieties with different shape and flavour, but all of them are very popular for their delicate taste and versatility, as well as their countless benefits.
Orange, brown, yellow and their endless varieties: the warm colours that characterise the autumnal countryside are also reflected on our dinner tables during this season.
To mark the date when the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) was founded, all around the world people celebrate World Food Day on 16th October every year, which celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2020.
Autumn brings sweet potatoes to our tables (also called “American” potatoes or “batate” in Italy).
On 4 October – the day when we celebrate Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of Italy and animals – we also celebrate World Animal Day.
Have you ever wondered how much food ends up in the bin every year? According to a Coldiretti-Ixè survey, food waste in Italian homes comes to a total of about 36 kg a year per person, worth €4.91 a week per household.
We can focus on sustainability in the decisions we make every day, no matter how small or big: from buying environmentally-friendly foods to choosing how we get around, from our household energy consumption to our holiday destinations.
When choosing what to buy, Italians are increasingly more attentive to the social and environmental impact of what they eat. This phenomenon was observed by the Osservatorio Immagino report, conducted by GS1 Italy together with Nielsen.
Learning about the art of recycling and reusing is a good way to reduce waste and make sustainable choices for the environment. Some potentially reusable food scraps in the kitchen are sometimes thrown away.
The sun starts to get milder, the climate is at times cooler and daily life starts to get back to normal… September is here, bringing with it a host of new good intentions and plans.
We have gotten to know bees, bumblebees, ants, butterflies and many other small diurnal animals by spending time outdoors, looking at the flowers in the fields and the plants thriving in the countryside.
We all know that you should drink at least one and a half litres of water a day, which is essential for keeping our body hydrated, especially during summer, when the heat makes it even more important to replenish what we lose in sweat.
Along the Italian coastline, where plants thrive in the warm sunlight, there is a fantastic smell in the air.
Even in the height of summer, our vegetable gardens still delight us with their delicious, colourful fruits. Let’s discover some of the typical delights of this month.
Delicious and versatile, potatoes lend themselves to so many recipes, from easier ones to more elaborate meals, from dishes to be served hot to mouthwatering cold dishes.
Applying moisturisers and the right factor sun cream when out in the sun helps keep your skin healthy, soft and elastic, but your diet also plays a crucial role in protecting your skin.
The farming sector is becoming increasingly dynamic and innovative, requiring specific knowledge and qualified expertise.
During summer, the muggy, dry weather risks hopelessly damaging your vegetable garden which, just at this time of year, needs even more attention. The hot season is also a great time to start growing certain plants that will ensure delicious vegetables for you to eat in the following months. Let’s have a look at a few examples.
The unpredictable weather of the first few weeks of June has given way to sun, beautiful days and the desire to spend more time outdoors.
