The food from the Netherlands is tasteless compared to Spanish or Italian in all seasons of the year, in the summer, all produce in Europe beats it.
High yields in a country that does not have record sunlight throughought entire year, can only be achieved by abusing chemicals in the process, faking natural conditions, etc. Low amount of natural sunlight can easily be tested using your taste buds.
If their farmer switch to other varieties, without slowing down and reducing the yields, they will still harvest tasteless produce in comparison to other countries that have better conditions or "slower" production.
- zappo2938 9y agoYou sound like every French, Spanish, and Italian chef I've worked for.
- polskibus 9y agoI'm actually a casual Polish consumer. While we get similar amount of sun as the Dutch do, our produce is much better in the summer than theirs. Poland has lower yields, we have much more land than they do (lower pressure for efficiency), being a bit backwards to the Western Europe actually results in better food. In early Spring and late Autumn, I'd always pick imported French or Spanish produce over Dutch.

- cynicalreason 9y agoI lived for 2 years in the UK - I didn't understand how they could eat that stuff ... it literally has no taste. Moved back home for 3 years and now I'm living in the Netherlands for the past year .. it tastes like nothing, the tomatoes, the cabbage, the carrots .. the parsley .. they all are so bland. We found some actual farms around that we got some actually tasty stuff during season .. but the stuff in the supermarkets tastes like grass.
