# Cook seasonally — Swiss seasonal calendar built in — mangia

> mangia automatically detects what's in season near you. Seasonal calendars for CH, DE, AT, FR, IT, ES and EN built in — nothing to remember.

## Cook seasonally — without keeping a calendar in your head.

mangia knows what's in season in May where you are. Per meal, per week you see how much actually comes from your region.

## The seasonal calendar is already inside.

You drop recipes into the weekly plan — mangia marks straight away which ingredients are in season. In the balance you see your week's seasonal share. Data is based on country-specific seasonal calendars (Switzerland: WWF/BLW, other countries analogous). Tropical fruit count as "not in season"; legumes, grains and nuts are excluded.

## Features

### Detected automatically
No list to remember — mangia marks in every recipe what's currently in season.

### Per country
CH, DE, AT, FR, IT, ES, EN — all live. Configurable per family.

### Sunday-evening push
A mini balance on Sunday: how seasonal was your week?

## Frequently asked

**Which seasonal calendar data do you use?**

Country-specific seasonal calendars — Switzerland based on WWF/BLW, other countries analogous. Open-field and storage combined. Tropical fruit count as "not in season".

**What about legumes and grains?**

Legumes, grains, nuts and herbs are excluded from the seasonal share — they're available year-round.

**Can I switch country?**

Yes. Per family you choose: Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Spain or England — all live, configurable in family settings.

**What if I love tropical fruit?**

Goes on — mango, banana etc. are not blocked. They simply don't count toward the seasonal share.

**Will I be reminded?**

Sunday evening you get a short mini balance — plants, meat, seasonal — as a push, optional.
