Grocery basket - May

Focus of the month/1 May 2024

Ukraine has always been famous for its rich agricultural sector and May is the time when our fields and gardens are filled with greenery and blossoms ready to conquer gastronomic hearts.

May for Ukrainians is a month of reminding that we should gratefully accept and use all the gifts of our fecund land.

In May the first berries begin, but be careful with the very first ones. Especially for kids, offer the still frozen ones. I suggest waiting for the peak of the season, which I will write about in the following summer months.
