Eating in Season
When vegetables are selected and consumed at their natural peak, they will be healthier for us. Today it is easy to find most fruits and vegetables all year long but when we eat in season we are getting far more nutrients and the price tag should be less than their stored or shipped counterparts.
For the remainder of March, load up your shopping cart with:
- Naval oranges
- Carrots
- Cauliflower
- Artichokes
- Limes
- Cabbage
Next month, walk through the produce aisles in search of (they shouldn’t be hard to find!):
- Asparagus
- Mushrooms (shitakes especially have many medicinal properties)
- Rhubarb
- Celery
- Broccoli
Happy Spring!
