What's+in+season

=What's in season?= Knowing the ** fruit and vegs seasonal calendar ** will show you the main things to look out for: what’s best, freshest, cheapest and locally available in each month of the year. **Seasonality of food** refers to the times of year when a given type food is at its peak, either in terms of harvest or its flavour. Although today's global marketplace allows us to buy foods grown virtually anywhere in the world all year round, these options are not the most sustainable. By purchasing local foods in-season, you eliminate the environmental damage caused by shipping foods thousands of miles, your food money goes directly to the farmer, and your family will enjoy the health benefits of eating fresh, unprocessed fruits and vegetables. Buying seasonal produce also provides an exciting opportunity to try new foods and to experiment with seasonal recipes. And it simply tastes better!
