Why should we eat seasonally?
*COST – Seasonal produce is generally more affordable because there is more of it available, driving the prices down. Generally, it is locally produced instead of shipped from across the world, also reducing the overall price.
*TASTE – For most of us, the taste of the food we buy is every bit as important as the cost, if not more so. When produce ripens in the sun, it tastes much better than produce picked early and ripened in a truck.
*HEALTH – Seasonal produce is healthier. Nutrients are lost when fruits and vegetables are shipped over long distances. When produce is picked after it has ripened in the sun and with the nutrients from the soil, it has higher levels of antioxidants.
