Just a friendly reminder to eat your vegetables, but to also make sure you buy ones that are naturally in season right now. Out of season produce is grown in far away lands and shipped to you at a high cost to the environment! Here's a list of what's in season right now, look for it when you do your grocery shopping....
Winter Fruit
Grapes
Meyer Lemons
Blood Oranges
Mandarin Oranges
Tangerines
Grapefruit
Limes
Avocados
Winter Vegetables
Winter Squash
Parsnips
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Kale
Spinach
Beets
Fennel
Leeks
Escarole
Brussels Sprouts
Mushrooms
Walnuts
*** availability and seasonality changes by region***
For the recipes in the pictures and other wonderful winter vegetable recipes check out these from Bon Appetit magazine's February issue. Remember to also buy the fruits and vegetables grown in YOUR area to downsize transportation costs and CO2 emissions.
For more information and facts on the environmental benefits of seasonal eating, read our past post on the issue.
Spring is just around the corner so take advantage of the winter bounty while it lasts!
