Fruit and Veggies that are In Season Right Now

February 4, 2018

Winter can get pretty grey, and pretty drab.  While it may seem that the bright, fresh produce is still months away, winter actually has some great fruits and vegetables that are in season, and inexpensive!  This is about the time of year that’s great for hearty vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower.  Grapefruit, lemons, and oranges are in season now, and it’s a great time for rutabagas, turnips and kale.  There are many good reasons for getting your produce while it’s in season.  First, the flavor will be unmistakably better.  When you’re buying produce in season, you’re picking the exact same time Mother Nature says is the best.  In season produce is also more plentiful, so you’ll usually save some money.  Most importantly, because you’re eating from the items that are in season, you are getting them at their peak of freshness.  That means more nutrients.  Fresh is our favorite word around here, and helping you find the pick of the crop is our main job!
