Seasonal fruit calendar in April in Tenerife
In the Canary archipelago, April is presented as a month of transition and rebirth, a period where nature stretches under a kind and benevolent climate. This month is crucial for us in Sanus Market, a store dedicated to local ecological and organic fruit and vegetables, as this is when we closely observe the direct impact of the climate on our crops.
The Canary Islands, blessed by their subtropical climate, enjoy mild temperatures that rarely fall below 18°C or exceed 24°C in April. This thermal stability is a gift for organic farming, allowing constant and healthy growth of our fruits and vegetables without the stress that extreme temperature fluctuations can cause.
Additionally, the moderate intensity of the sun in April promotes photosynthesis without subjecting plants to excessive heat stress. This is especially important for our organic crops, which depend on balanced growth and the absence of invasive practices to flourish. Adequate sunlight is essential for the development of fruits and vegetables full of flavor and nutrients, reflecting a commitment to quality and health.
