So the holidays are over, and yet we still have the urge to celebrate. Well, I think it is time to celebrate the fresh fruits and vegetables that this winter season offers.
I am talking about buying fresh in season fruits and vegetables, and taking them home to create a delicious meal for your family, your friends, or just you!
Why should you buy in season produce? It saves money (which everyone enjoys), helps you stay local (connect to your community, and what it has to offer), and buying in season helps you create the most amazing and full of taste meals.
This is not as hard as you are thinking it is at this current moment.
You’re thinking it is winter, what could possibly be in season. Well for starters, swiss chard, beets, parsnips, kale, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cabbages, spinach, winter squashes, pomegranates, grapefruits, oranges, and many more. Check out the vegetable and fruit chart below, to give you a break down of what is in season.
My challenge to you, find a local market this week or weekend, and buy some fresh produce that is in season and then make a delicious meal for everyone to enjoy!
Verde!
