About Trepunti.Sicily
The Trepunti farm is surrounded by mountains and the sea, and the highest active volcano in Europe, Mount Etna, can already be seen on the farm. Therefore, the soil on the farm contains a lot of minerals that help crops grow, which is very suitable for fruit growth.
The farmer, Jennifer, is a girl from Hong Kong who is married to a Sicilian farmer. She pays great attention to the food safety and quality of fruits and vegetables. In order to pursue higher quality fruits and vegetables, she began to learn how to cultivate organic fruits and vegetables. Jennifer and his wife, who like Hong Kong very much, opened an online store in Hong Kong in 2019 in order to allow the public in Hong Kong to enjoy the high-quality fruits and vegetables of Sicily, and bring high-quality Sicilian fruits and vegetables to Hong Kong citizens.

Orange and cream: Cream contains high cholesterol, while orange contains a lot of cellulose that can remove cholesterol, which helps reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body.

Orange and shrimp: When the calcium contained in the shrimp and the tannin in the orange are eaten before and after, they will combine into substances that are not easily digested, which will easily stimulate the stomach and cause vomiting and other symptoms. 2.

More importantly, it affects the absorption of protein components by the human body. 3. Oranges and Crabs: Crabs are cold and cool things. If they are paired with oranges that have the characteristics of gathering dampness and producing phlegm, it will easily lead to stagnation of Qi and accumulation of phlegm, which will affect health.

🔅Precautions (English Version)：
Especially since the fruits came from afar from Sicily, some of Jennifer's fruits are directly purchased from small farmers. The locals like to harvest the fruits when they are ripe. No pesticides are applied to the organic fruits, and it is normal to have defects on the surface. We do not return or exchange products based on individual subjective factors (aroma, size, sweetness, etc.). However, if the fruit is damaged/damaged on a large scale, we are happy to make return/exchange arrangements based on the degree of damage to the fruit. Please contact our store via Whatsapp/phone within 24 hours and send us the photo of the fruit in question.
