Eating Seasonal Just Got Better

Many people today are committed to eating seasonally. This means that they seek out and eat fruits and vegetables that are in season. This makes a lot of sense for a few reasons. First of all, fresh produce that is in season tends to taste better and is more flavorful, since it is generally grown on farms and not in hothouses. As well, seasonal produce tends to have a higher nutrient value, since this type of produce is picked locally and at the peak of freshness. This is in contrast to many out-of-season fruits and vegetables, which are picked too early and ripen during transport.

The problem, of course, is that during the late fall and throughout the winter, many places simply do not provide a wide selection of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Therefore, it can be more difficult to eat healthy during the winter. Not only do our schedules become more hectic but there are also fewer tempting foods and vegetables available at the grocery store. Plus, many types of produce are more expensive during the winter, when they are less readily available and need to be imported.
