Eat the Season
Goodbye winter, hello fresh veg - at last, the growing season is upon us.
At DASH we like to know what’s in season because eating what is ready right now is one of the best ways to help reduce food waste.
We believe that actions speak louder than words, which is why we hope to empower others to have a positive impact through the example that we set. It is only by working together and at a national and global scale that we will create meaningful change in the fight against food waste.
So why not stick to this seasonal tasty fruit and veg each month to make sure you’re doing your bit for the planet and your taste buds:
