Food: Eating In-Season

Many of us could use a boost when it comes to making our nutrition and diet as beneficial to our bodies as possible. When it comes to produce, consider the benefits of eating in-season foods to enhance your diet.

Peak In-Season Taste

When food is bland or tasteless, we often find it hard to palate our meals. In-season fruits and vegetables are picked at their ripest and tastiest which offers peak flavor to the plate. The lack of flavor to off-season foods could contribute to adding extra flavor with salt, seasonings, dressings, and sauces. In-season foods allow for the darkest color, richest taste, and most benefit to the diet

Nutritional Impact

Produce that is picked at its ripest contains the highest possible amount of nutrients to benefit the body. Nutrients such as Vitamin C can be fragile and begin to lose their potency once a fruit or vegetable is cut from its roots. Eating in season (and locally) means that produce keeps its nutrient-dense profile for as long as possible before hitting your plate.

Financial Benefits

Eating locally and in-season fruits and vegetables can greatly benefit the local economy and your personal wallet. Foods that are in season tend to be more readily available and thus cheaper for purchase. Eating local produce helps support and boost the local economy. At the end of the day, eating in-season becomes a practice in building community.
