Because you will take much better advantage of all its nutrients, which are many. It is more than proven that the less time passes from the harvesting period to its consumption, the better they maintain all their properties, especially vitamins and fibers, so important for human health. If they are consumed freshly collected, you will also have more water and therefore can hydrate your body much better.
