Foods that are in season are typically picked at the peaks of ripeness, which leads to higher concentrations of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Eating seasonally reduces the need for transportation and energy-intensive methods of cultivation and storage, leading to a lower carbon footprint.

Choosing seasonal produce supports local farmers and markets. The money spent on seasonal produce helps maintain farmland and stimulates local economies.

Most importantly, seasonal foods are tasty and full of flavor and make life more enjoyable. ♥
