All the essentials at a glance

Depending on the definition, spring begins at different times. From a meteorological point of view, spring starts every year on March 1st and lasts until May 31st. This division facilitates the comparison of weather data and is often used in climate research.

Astronomically, spring begins with the equinox, also known as the vernal equinox. This usually falls on March 20th or 21st, when day and night are approximately equal in length. From this point on, the days become noticeably longer and temperatures slowly rise.

For many people, however, spring begins when nature awakens: the first flowers bloom, trees sprout, and the sun gains strength. This so-called phenological spring is based on natural observations and can start at different times depending on the region.

Whether meteorological, astronomical, or perceived – spring stands for new beginnings, fresh ingredients, and light cuisine. Exactly the right time to bring new energy to the plate with fresh spices and seasonal recipes.

In spring, our eating habits change as our bodies crave light and fresh foods after the cold months. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and simple dishes are now in focus, providing new energy and more variety in the kitchen.

Herbs, lemon notes, pepper, garlic, and light spice blends go particularly well with spring dishes. They add freshness and bring new lightness to the plate. Especially with seasonal vegetables, you can bring out a lot of flavor with little effort.

In spring, asparagus, radishes, spinach, spring onions, and early lettuces are particularly in season. These ingredients are ideal for light spring recipes and bring fresh variety to your kitchen. In combination with finely tuned spices, they create simple and flavorful dishes.

Typical spring dishes are light, fresh, and uncomplicated. These include salads, vegetable stir-fries, bowls, or light grilled dishes. Combinations with fresh herbs, citrus notes, and mild spices that enhance the natural flavor of the ingredients are particularly popular.
