With our natural paper bag for various types of grapes and stone fruit, we have already found packaging that is made primarily from recyclable material and protects the fruit with its material structure. We have carried out various tests with environmentally friendly materials and found that certain fruits stay fresh best in plastic. That\u2019s why we still can\u2019t do without plastic completely. After all, we want our fruit to reach you fresh.<\/p>\n<p>The quality of our fruit \u2013 just like the taste \u2013 is our top priority.<\/p>\n<p>Wherever we can, however, we do without plastic. We also try to use recycled plastic wherever possible \u2013 plastic that has already been in circulation. Nevertheless, we hope that we will soon have found a replacement for the environmentally harmful plastic that will also keep our fruit nice and fresh. Incidentally, we offer 60% of our fruit completely unpackaged and we want to increase this proportion even further.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past ten years, we have already been able to save 1,400 tonnes of plastic. And if customers bring their own cloth bags, all the better! That also saves an enormous amount of plastic bags. We know that these are all small steps, but at some point they will amount to one big one! As you can see, we are working on saving even more packaging and using environmentally friendly packaging so that we can sustainably protect the basis of our existence, nature.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-1pxll-aafb2937806fad1b7948cffccef8a03f av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m2eqljua-e767f88210f0abfa59349ffd9fa8ef52\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m2eqljua-e767f88210f0abfa59349ffd9fa8ef52 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m2eqljua-e767f88210f0abfa59349ffd9fa8ef52 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-5  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source media='(max-width:286px)' srcset='https:\/\/sanlucar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/UVA-2-286x300.jpg'><source media='(max-width:593px)' srcset='https:\/\/sanlucar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/UVA-2.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" class='avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/sanlucar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/UVA-2.jpg\" alt='Grape farmer harvesting ripe grapes in a vineyard \u2013 showcasing fresh, sun-ripened fruit and sustainable agriculture.' title='UVA'\/><\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_1'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-47182'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div class='av-column-wrapper-individual av-mobile-columns-flex av-columns-reverse'><div  class='flex_column av-m2iumaw4-e6909f4d41fdf0c0b4adb67e816a383e av_one_half  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m2ium2so-6ea96b18434432eb43975b09664867ee\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m2ium2so-6ea96b18434432eb43975b09664867ee .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m2ium2so-6ea96b18434432eb43975b09664867ee av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source media='(max-width:300px)' srcset='https:\/\/sanlucar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/FRESA2-2-300x283.jpg'><source media='(max-width:592px)' srcset='https:\/\/sanlucar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/FRESA2-2.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" class='avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/sanlucar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/FRESA2-2.jpg\" alt='Fresh ripe strawberries growing on a plant, with vibrant red color and green leaves \u2013 sun-ripened and ready for harvest.' title='FRESA2'\/><\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-wq4gx-03a05881c2efd6b1daaa9c8e9920a8ef av_one_half  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-m2eqrj6c-b13fb415d48628bf334c2f4acd5d0238 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3><strong>Do you use pesticides?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We want our fruit to taste as good to our customers as if it had just been freshly picked. That\u2019s why we have very strict quality guidelines \u2013 from sowing to delivery to the supermarket. Our growers also strive to cultivate as naturally as possible. We regularly prune trees and plants and thin them out by hand so that they get enough light and air.<\/p>\n<p>This is important for the longevity of the plant, its health and thus its resistance to diseases \u2013 and of course for magnificent, aromatic fruit (traditional mechanical method). A mix of dry and wet weather is the best basis for healthy and resistant trees and shrubs, which develop natural protection against many pests and diseases. Of course, we don\u2019t always have this ideal weather. Periods of drought or even heavy rain and excessive humidity can stress and weaken plants and make them susceptible to pests and diseases.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the plants are vigorous and are attacked by pests, we use natural predators (biological method). If the infestation is more severe, we also hang colour traps, mass traps or pheromone traps (scent traps) in the trees to minimise the pests (biochemical method).<\/p>\n<p>This is often enough to save the plants, even if we always have to factor in crop losses, which we accept to a certain extent in order to avoid chemicals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close flex column wrapper.

SanLucar Master Growers weigh up the use of chemicals according to very strict criteria. Together with the Master Growers\u2019 quality technicians, we monitor the use of pesticides.<\/p>\n<p>The chemical residues evaporate over time. Before we harvest, we check our fruit to see if any residues are still present, and we only harvest if these are below the legally prescribed limits. Our fruit has also been awarded \u201cvery good\u201d several times by well-known consumer protection organisations such as \u00d6KO-TEST.

But anyone who works hand in hand with nature knows that there can be no 100% guarantee of delicious fruit! Sometimes the weather simply throws a spanner in the works and is not as good as we would like for our fruit. Nevertheless, it helps to know exactly which fruit it is, where it was bought and what the lot number is. The lot number, which consists of several digits, can be found on the packaging, usually on the back. With its help, we can trace the exact path of our fruit and find out why it was not of the usual quality.<\/p>\n<p>This also helps us to eliminate various problems. Without more detailed information, we can\u2019t say why the fruit was bad or do anything about it. We have very strict quality guidelines from sowing to delivery of our fruit to the supermarkets.<\/p>\n<p>Our Master Growers look after the plants and fruit with a great deal of passion and expertise. They nurture and care for them and give them everything they need for healthy growth. They check their sugar content and only when the fruit is really ripe are they carefully picked.<\/p>\n<p>They are then checked several times and only the best are packaged and sent to the supermarkets ideally chilled as SanLucar fruit. When they arrive there, they are inspected again. If there are any defects, the fruit is not accepted. So if you find our SanLucar fruit in the supermarkets, it has also passed these strict market inspections. Because we want you to get the best fruit and vegetables from us.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close flex column wrapper.

However, we advise you to consult your doctor or nutritionist first. They can draw up an individual diet plan for you. There are two ways to find out which foods have what effect on your blood sugar. You can use the glycaemic index (Glyx) or the glycaemic load (GL). There are also numerous food tables on the Internet that provide important information. The lower the glyx or GL of a food, the better it is for diabetics (source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verbraucherzentrale.de\">verbraucherzentrale.de<\/a>). Apples, pears, grapefruits, cherries, kiwis, mangoes, oranges, peaches, plums and berries of all kinds have a low glyx and are therefore suitable for diabetics.<\/p>\n<p>They also contain fibre, which delays the rise in blood sugar. Nevertheless, they should not be eaten to excess. \u201cA daily portion of fruit that fits in the palm of your hand is ideal. This could be an apple and a pear or a handful of berries,\u201d recommends Thomas Haak, Medical Director of the Diabetes Centre in Bad Mergentheim, for example. Tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines, artichokes, cauliflowers, carrots, courgettes and asparagus usually contain less sugar and more of these can be eaten. Vegetables make you feel full and help to keep your body weight stable or even reduce it. They also provide many valuable vitamins and minerals as well as secondary plant substances, which colour tomatoes red or cucumbers green, for example, but can also be found in whole grain cereals and legumes. The more colourful and varied your diet, the more different vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals your body receives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-7bd3f5cd863a6256abcb544d7c276d96 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m2iup0h2-c7265ab320d1ec51d8d6fda828599b2a\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m2iup0h2-c7265ab320d1ec51d8d6fda828599b2a .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m2iup0h2-c7265ab320d1ec51d8d6fda828599b2a av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-21  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source media='(max-width:287px)' srcset='https:\/\/sanlucar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/brokkoli2-1-287x300.jpg'><source media='(max-width:593px)' srcset='https:\/\/sanlucar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/brokkoli2-1.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" class='avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/sanlucar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/brokkoli2-1.jpg\" alt='Fresh broccoli growing in a field, with vibrant green florets and sturdy stalks \u2013 nutrient-rich and ready for harvest' title='brokkoli2'\/><\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='av-column-wrapper-individual av-mobile-columns-flex av-columns-reverse'><div  class='flex_column av-m2ix6kgu-823adcb965af266a9963fb1cf20953cf av_one_half  avia-builder-el-22  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m2iupw8n-208e0d5de2e2d5d60464f9e1177a2919\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m2iupw8n-208e0d5de2e2d5d60464f9e1177a2919 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m2iupw8n-208e0d5de2e2d5d60464f9e1177a2919 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-23  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source media='(max-width:300px)' srcset='https:\/\/sanlucar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ARANDANOS1-1-300x194.jpg'><source media='(max-width:592px)' srcset='https:\/\/sanlucar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ARANDANOS1-1.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" class='avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/sanlucar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ARANDANOS1-1.jpg\" alt='\"Fresh blueberries growing on a bush, with plump, deep blue berries and green leaves \u2013 ripe, juicy, and antioxidant-rich.' title='ARANDANOS1'\/><\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1xus2h-1ce32657920bfd461d42bb619707aba7 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-24  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-m2erce6v-d6a539c93027556d8812d0c388589ad5 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Important: The vegetables or fruit should not be heated for too long, as many vitamins are sensitive to heat. The best cooking method is steaming in a little water. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, lettuce and cabbage (broccoli, kale, savoy cabbage) can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Scientists at the Diabetes Research Centre at the University of Leicester evaluated six studies on fruit and vegetables with data from 220,000 adults. Just one and a half portions a day (around 106 grammes) can reduce the risk of disease by 14%, writes the research team led by Patrice Carter in the\u00a0<em>British Medical Journal\u00a0<\/em>(BMJ). Why green leafy vegetables in particular \u2013 and not fruit \u2013 have such an effect has not yet been clearly explained.<\/p>\n<p>The scientists suspect that it could be related to antioxidants such as vitamin C or the high magnesium content of the vegetables. It is clear that green leafy vegetables have a variety of positive effects on the human immune system. To summarise: fruit in moderation, plenty of vegetables, but please always check with your doctor.(Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.t-online.de\">t-online.de<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aerztezeitung.de\">aerztezeitung.de<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/bmj.com\">bmj.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close flex column wrapper.

That is why we attach great importance to resource-conserving, sustainable, climate-friendly cultivation. Water is life and one of the most valuable commodities we have here on earth, and we must use it sustainably. On our South African farm Rooihoogte, for example, we have installed a digitally controlled irrigation system that enables us to save as much as 50% (!) of our water consumption. A total of 25 probes measure the moisture and temperature of the soil at different depths in our fields. This allows us to deduce the amount of water in the soil and special software tells us when and how much to water. The new system makes our daily work easier and helps us to save water \u2013 with pinpoint accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>We have also installed a special irrigation system in our SanLucar tomato oasis in Tunisia and save 30% of water consumption by treating and reusing it.<\/p>\n<p>On our strawberry and raspberry farm, a rainwater collection basin with a capacity of 7,000 cubic metres helps us to significantly reduce water consumption from wells.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close flex column wrapper.

We use it to heat our greenhouses from November to March, thus saving a lot of energy. Once collected and cooled, the mineral-rich thermal water is added to the irrigation water in fine doses. It gives the tomatoes an intense aroma. At our headquarters in Puzol, Spain, our new office building meets the highest energy-efficiency criteria. We generate electricity from solar panels and can make optimum use of the hours of sunshine thanks to sophisticated, automatically controlled blinds. We need to heat less in winter and cool less in summer \u2013 both of which save electricity. Furthermore, our warehouse in Ettlingen in Germany has been lit by energy-efficient LED lamps since 2015, and the office building since April 2017.

Here, children with disabilities are given the opportunity to develop through contact with horses.<\/p>\n<p>And in Spain, we have been serving hot meals to low-income people and families in our soup kitchen \u201cEl Puchero\u201d every day since 2013.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close flex column wrapper.

Doesn\u2019t this increase CO2 emissions?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Bananas, pineapples, mangoes, mandarins, oranges, avocados, grapes \u2013 many of the fruits we offer are not native to Germany. Nevertheless, customers want them because they are healthy and really tasty. That\u2019s why we grow them abroad, but also offer German fruit and vegetables, such as apples, blueberries, raspberries, currants and tomatoes. Our mission is to provide everyone with the most natural, freshest and tastiest fruit and vegetables. And in a way that we can be proud of. Nature and the climate are very important to us; after all, we are particularly dependent on both.<\/p>\n<p>That is why we are cutting down on the climate killer CO2 as much as possible. We work on this every day. And these are our measures so far: By recycling almost 1,000 tonnes of paper, cardboard, carton, glass and lightweight packaging, we have saved around 4,659 tonnes of primary resources. This has enabled us to avoid the production of 832 tonnes of CO2. To achieve this value, 66,000 trees would have to be planted, which would correspond to a forest area of around 8.18 hectares.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, we also started planting trees on vacant land at our hacienda in Magdalena, Ecuador. The reforestation on the banks of the Puebloviejo River will probably cost us a lot of effort in the coming years, but it is worth it to us because we are creating a natural ecosystem: the growing trees prevent soil erosion and create a new habitat for plants and wild animals. They also store considerable amounts of the greenhouse gas CO2.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-7bd3f5cd863a6256abcb544d7c276d96 av_one_half
