Eat Seasonably: Your Guide To Seasonal Produce

As everyone knows, all fruits and vegs have a particular time of year when they are at their peak. If you are the one trying to keep a healthy and sustainable diet, it is really important to eat according to the season for a number of reasons.

First of all, fresh local produce is picked gradually as it becomes ripe and has unbeatable freshness and nutritional value, which makes seasonal foods really beneficial for our health. 

Opting for food that is in season also has a positive environmental impact because it helps reduce carbon footprint through less around-the-world logistic processes such as transportation and storage. 

And, of course, we should not forget that when we choose to buy local fruits and vegs over the supermarkets' ones, we make a big contribution to the support of local businesses.
