Seasonal Eating

Seasonal eating is the practice of consuming foods that are in season during a particular time of year. The idea is based on the concept that our bodies are naturally in tune with the seasons, and that eating foods that are in season can help support our overall health and well-being. Additionally, seasonal eating can be beneficial for local farmers and the environment. When we eat foods that are in season, we are supporting local farmers who are growing these foods, and we are reducing the environmental impact of shipping food long distances.

Examples of Seasonal Foods

• Asparagus in the spring
• Watermelon in the summer
• Pumpkin in the fall
• Citrus fruits in the winter.

Basic Principles

One of the basic principles of seasonal eating is to eat foods that are grown locally and are in season. This means that you may need to adjust your diet based on the time of year, and that some foods may not be available year-round. For example, if you live in the Northeastern United States, you may not be able to find fresh strawberries in the middle of winter. Instead, you might look for apples or pears, which are in season during the colder months. Eating seasonally can also help you save money on your grocery bill, as foods that are in season are typically less expensive than foods that are out of season and need to be shipped from other parts of the world. Overall, the benefits of seasonal eating are numerous, and can have a positive impact on your health, the environment, and your local community.
