Spring
Savour orchard fruits and red fruits!
In the spring, orchard fruits, like apricots and red fruits,
such as redcurrants, are fully ripe. The best way to
eat them is without a doubt at the time of picking.
But delicious jams also enable you to rediscover their
intense taste and fl avour.
•
Apricots are one of the fruits that provide the most pro-
vitamin A: 1.5 mg/100 g. Vitamin A and in particular
carotenoids are known for their action on the skin,
encouraging tanning.
•
Red fruits (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, redcur-
rants, etc.) are rich in polyphenols, a wide family of food
antioxidants.
•
Strawberries (0.40 mg/100 g) and redcurrants
(0.24 mg/100 g) are a good source of zinc, which has a
positive effect on the skin’s cells.
