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 a lot of experience with fruits and vegetables and stands for quality. Their communication is also a big plus. Almost daily we receive a text or email about the new seasonal products

I don’t want to waste a lot of time on finding the best quality products every day. With Rungis it’s also nice we can plan ahead, and: a deal is a deal. That’s also Rungis.
