The afternoon snack and what it means

I'm sure we've all had a real low in the afternoon. In Switzerland, we counteract this with an energy boost. They bridge the time between lunch and dinner with a small snack, usually around four o'clock. Four in Swiss means "vieri"; "at four o'clock" they call "zu vieri", in short: Zvieri! And then we experience the "aha" effect of the name of this clever snack that restores the tired body.
In Switzerland, the Zvieri is an important part of the day, especially for children and toddlers in nurseries, as is the Vesper or Brotzeit in parts of southern Germany. However, it is not always so easy to introduce the little ones to natural snacks . By the way: In Switzerland, you can find a wide selection of our nuts, dried fruit, seeds and kernels at Coop.
