Have you been able to enjoy one or two sunny days? There is this special spring smell in the air, which always reminds us of a kind of new beginning. In April nature really gets going. If you listen closely, you can hear the first birds singing and fruit trees slowly starting to bloom. We love it and of course that the selection of seasonal products is growing!
Our recipe idea for April
With our seasonal April recipe, spring comes fragrant out of the oven. We baked delicious, hearty muffins with wild garlic. For the dough we used our vegan egg and our oat drink and as a little surprise our mini meatballs are baked in the dough - GREENFORCE Power three times!!! The muffins get their special twist from the fresh wild garlic. Not only will it smell wonderful in your kitchen, but it will also taste particularly good!
Wild garlic is a healthy super herb that, among other things, promotes digestion, has anti-inflammatory effects, counteracts abdominal cramps and, thanks to its high vitamin C content, also strengthens the immune system.
Head out into the forest, keep your eyes and especially your nose open and pick some wild garlic for this great recipe.

Seasonal products in April
Here we go: The variety of free-range products that you can buy locally grown is starting to grow. You can look forward to rhubarb, wild garlic, young spinach and, from the middle of the month, asparagus.
When buying asparagus, you should make sure to get it organically grown. In order to be able to offer asparagus for as long as possible, plastic film and underfloor heating are often used. This in turn means that the environment is heavily polluted.
You don't even have to buy fresh wild garlic, just go out into the forest or into wooded areas, as already mentioned. In these places you can pick fresh wild garlic and prepare great recipes at home. And here's a little shopping tip for rhubarb: It's ripe when the stalks are smooth and not wavy. Rhubarb always really gives us spring feelings, do you feel the same way?
Now we wish you a lot of fun with our seasonal calendar and hopefully some inspiration for products that will soon be in your kitchen. Happy cooking!
