From Farmer to Fork: Why Food Sourcing Matters

🌱 Quality Starts at the Source

The fresher the ingredient, the better the taste. But there’s more to it than flavor.

• Local ingredients often have higher nutritional value because they’re harvested closer to peak ripeness.
• Fewer middlemen = less processing and fewer preservatives.
• You support local farmers and transparent supply chains.

Imported produce can travel thousands of miles and sit in storage for days. That doesn’t just affect taste—it impacts your body, too.

‍Local vs Imported: What’s the Real Difference?

It’s not just a trend—it’s a choice with real consequences.

• Local: More nutrients, less carbon footprint, supports Armenian farmers
• Imported: Often picked early, ripened artificially, and packaged for travel

Seasonal and local doesn’t just mean “fresh”—it means food with a story you can trust.

‍Why Sourcing Is a Climate Issue Too

Food production is one of the biggest drivers of carbon emissions.
And transportation? A major part of that footprint.

Choosing locally sourced, seasonal ingredients:

• Reduces transportation emissions
• Supports regenerative agriculture
• Cuts down on packaging waste

Every meal you cook with mastro is a small win for the planet.
