Mes Notes

Monthly nutrition notes — the season's star and what's on the market.

September 2026

Star ingredient

Butternut Squash

Cucurbita moschata

Autumn's first messenger: under its cream-colored skin hides a bright orange, sweet and velvety flesh.

August 2026

Star ingredient

Fig

Ficus carica

Turkey's world-famous fruit ripens exactly this month: purple-tinged skin, honey-sweet inside, a brief but unforgettable season.

This or That?

Coffee · Green Tea · Matcha

All three offer caffeine and antioxidants — but they deliver energy in very different ways.

This or That?

Almonds · Walnuts · Hazelnuts

All three are packed with healthy fats and protein — but each has one standout strength.

This or That?

Honey · Maple Syrup · Coconut Sugar

All 'natural sweeteners' — but they differ in glycaemic index and content. And in the end, they're all sugar.

This or That?

Greek Yogurt · Kefir · Skyr

All three are fermented dairy — but they differ in protein, texture and probiotics.

This or That?

Rice · Quinoa · Couscous

They look similar on the plate — but nutritionally, they're worlds apart.

July 2026

Star ingredient

Apricot

Prunus armeniaca

At its peak right now: golden-orange, velvety, brief but so worth it.

This or That?

Red Lentils · Green Lentils · Black Lentils

We call them all lentils — but in the kitchen and nutritionally, they're quite different.

This or That?

Oat Milk · Almond Milk · Soy Milk

The milk aisle has exploded with options — which one is actually worth it?

This or That?

Olive Oil · Coconut Oil · Butter

Each was marketed as 'the healthiest' at some point. What's actually true?

This or That?

Whey Protein · Plant-Based Protein · Casein

They all carry the label 'protein powder' — but they work very differently in the body.

This or That?

Chia · Flaxseed · Pumpkin Seeds

All three are among the most nutrient-dense seeds — but each has its own superpower.

June 2026

Star ingredient

Sour Cherry

Prunus cerasus

A two-week window, a short season — but the effects last longer. Eat them now.
