Summer fruit season calendar in Tenerife.
The summer climate of Tenerife
This time, we want to tell you how the summer climate of our beautiful island influences the quality and variety of the products we offer.
Tenerife is known for its subtropical climate, with mild and pleasant temperatures year-round. However, summer brings with it an environment particularly conducive to growing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. During this season, temperatures typically range between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius, accompanied by a pleasant sea breeze that cools the fields. These factors, along with an average of more than 300 days of sunshine per year, create ideal conditions for the development of vibrant and flavorful crops.
At Sanus Market , we offer locally grown produce cultivated in mineral-rich volcanic soils, giving our fruits a unique character. The summer climate is particularly beneficial for tropical fruits like mangoes, papayas, and bananas, which require plenty of sunshine to reach optimal ripeness and develop that sweet, juicy flavor we all love.
At Sanus Market, we not only aim to offer healthy food, but also to connect our customers with the natural bounty of Tenerife. Enjoy the freshness and quality of our seasonal products, knowing that every bite is a testament to the love and care with which they are grown.
