Seasonal fruit calendar in November in Tenerife
Tenerife, known as the “Island of Eternal Spring”, is a privileged place when it comes to climate, especially for the cultivation of fruits and vegetables. As the calendar moves towards November, the island experiences a subtle but beneficial change in its climate that turns out to be especially beneficial for organic farmers and producers in Tenerife.
Although temperatures begin to drop slightly compared to the summer months, November in Tenerife still offers warm conditions, with average temperatures ranging between 18°C and 24°C. This moderate temperature, combined with relative humidity, creates an optimal environment for the germination and growth of various crop varieties.
Reducing extreme heat allows soils to retain moisture better, resulting in less water stress for crops. Thus, fruits such as avocados, mangoes and papayas reach their optimal ripening point, offering more intense flavors and perfect textures. Vegetables such as beans, squash and spinach also benefit from these conditions, growing robust and rich in nutrients.
However, what really sets November apart is the combination of these climatic factors with the quality of Tenerife's volcanic soil. This soil, rich in minerals, enhances the benefits of the climate and provides fruits and vegetables with unique characteristics in flavor and quality.
