Imported from Greece

Oranges from Greece

The oranges we offer come from the northeastern part of the Peloponnese, the Argolis region and the area around Corinth.

When there is at least one orange on the plate, the whole house gets brighter and happier from this “lump” of sun. Among the citrus fruits, of which there are over a dozen species, oranges and lemons are in the first place.

Oranges are said to come from China. But they won the whole world when their range of crops surrounded the globe. And it happened only about a hundred years ago.

The orange tree, 7-10 m high, is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the world. Against the background of glossy dark green leaves, there is either a thick, white veil of a wonderfully fragrant flower, or balls of dark green to golden fruit. These fruits contain a lot of vitamins C, A, E, P, B vitamins, as well as potassium, soda, lime, iron and copper. Oranges are destructive to microbes, and the juices and other drinks made from them are refreshing and provide relief from feverish diseases.

Watermelons from Greece

The watermelons we offer are grown mainly in the northwestern part of the Peloponnese, in the vicinity of Pirgos and Kiparissia, and in central Greece, near the town of Larissa.

A bit of history. The watermelon comes from Africa. To this day, wild varieties of this plant grow there. As early as 3,500 years ago, watermelons began to be grown in Egypt, and for a long time they were also grown in China and India. In the 11th-12th centuries, crops appeared in Western Europe, off the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Today, watermelons are grown wherever there is a sufficiently warm, mild climate. In Poland, they can only be grown in greenhouses, which is often unprofitable, which is why our market mainly includes imported fruit.

Action and nutritional value. Watermelons can weigh from 1-15 kg (but there are also specimens weighing 25 kg). Watermelons are low in calories (100 g of watermelon provides just 37 kcal). They are perfect for quenching thirst. They act as a diuretic, so they are indicated for patients with kidneys, as well as for people with cardiovascular ailments. They help with diseases of the liver and biliary tract, hypertension and rheumatism. They provide pectin and fiber which support the functioning of the intestines and promote the removal of cholesterol from the body. In addition to a small amount of sucrose, they mainly contain fructose and glucose, so people at risk of diabetes can eat them without fear. They are a source of valuable bioelements: phosphorus, iron, potassium and B vitamins, folic acid, vitamin C , as well as beta-carotene and lycopene , helpful in anti-cancer prevention.

Apricots from Greece

A bit of history. Known and cultivated in China since 3000 BC apricot, spread in Europe at the beginning of the Christian era (first in Italy, then in Greece) thanks to the Romans after the conquest of Armenia. Around the tenth century, the Arabs popularized its cultivation in southern France, while apricot did not come to America until after 1700.

Action and nutritional value. Apricot is rich especially in vitamin C . Three-quarters of a glass of apricot juice covers the daily human need for vitamin C. Due to their high iron content, apricots are of great medicinal value for people suffering from anemia. They are also recommended as part of the diet in cardiovascular diseases.

Origin. The wild forms of the grapevine are the oldest cultivated plants and the finds of the primitive forms of this plant date back to the beginning of the history of the Earth. Wherever climatic conditions allow, vines have been cultivated for thousands of years. Currently, about 2/3 of the world’s crops are grown in Europe.

Nutritional values. One kg gives about 700-800 kcal, so be careful with them when using slimming diets. These calories mainly come from sugar (-10-25% glucose) that is easily and quickly absorbed by the body. The richness of vitamins and minerals is impressive: the grapes contain vitamin A, B vitamins , especially a lot of vitamin PP, vitamin C , as well as calcium, phosphorus, iron , potassium and manganese .

Kiwi from Greece

A bit of history. The kiwi fruit has its origin in China, but it was in New Zealand that its intensive cultivation began, which then spread to other regions of the world. Therefore, the name of the fruit refers to the symbol of New Zealand – the famous flightless bird.

Nutritional values. Kiwi has extremely valuable nutritional values: it is rich in vitamin C – it contains as much as 85 mg per 100 g (for comparison, in oranges, lemons and grapefruits its amount varies from 50-60 mg).
