Thus, they have been able to know first-hand the daily work of Florette farmers in the area, where they have outdoor crops for the production of adult lettuce (iceberg, escarole, radicchio ...) and protected crops, reserved for the most varieties delicate, the first shoots (arugula, sorrel, spinach sprout ...).
In this event in support of sport and local agriculture, the players were very interested in the practices of sustainability in the field and respect for the different rhythms of natural growth of each plant.
A thorough job since Florette grows more than 60 varieties of lettuce and first sprouts in the region.
"It is impressive the daily work behind each salad. Many professionals that certainly make it very easy for us to eat healthy despite the rush of everyday life," says Mayte Mateo, captain of the STV Roldan FSF.

A fast and modern process in which in just 15 minutes the freshly collected raw material turns into fresh salads washed, cut and packaged, ready to consume.
