EATING SEASONALLY
|
We have so many choices today that our ancestors never dreamed of. Anytime we can go to the grocery store and buy produce that was once available only for a few months or weeks per year. We can have Watermelon in the Winter and Pomegranates in the Summer.
With this freedom and options in food, Why Eat Seasonally?
It tastes better and it is better for you.
Produce is at its peak taste and nutritional value when it is ripe. Fruits and Vegetables that travel long distances are not picked when they are ripe. While the produce may gain color and softness on its journey to the supermarket, nutritional value comes through the stem from the living plant. Once harvested a vegetable is as nutritious as it will be. Also nutritional value decreases every day past harvest.
