Eating seasonally is very important. First off when I say eating seasonally I mean eating the fruits and vegetables that are grown naturally during a specific season of the year. It is important to try and eat seasonally for several reasons. First off vegetables and fruits in season are produced locally, and there is also a greater abundance of the product. This means that the fruit or vegetable will be coming from from a nearby farm, and it will be cheaper. Seasonal produce will also taste better, because it is traveling a shorter distance and is therefore, fresher. Eating seasonally is very sustainable and good just about every way you spin it. If you eat fruits and vegetables seasonally, year round, your diet will be much more diverse, making you and the earth healthier in the process.
Its winter right now, so root vegetables and other vegetables like squash and kale are being grown right now, but there is lots more.

Of course produce in season differs from place to place, so head on over to your local farm market and check out whats seasonal.
A votre santé.
