SEASONAL LOCAL VEGETABLES AND FRUITS

When a fruit or vegetable is in season, it means that at that time of year it is at its peak. When you eat seasonally, your dependence upon local produce and local farmers increases thereby supporting them. At the same time, the need for transportation, refrigeration, and hot houses comes down making seasonal foods environment friendly.

The seasonal fruits and vegetables have all the vitamins and nutrients that our body needs in that particular season. So, it is wise to eat the fruits and vegetables when it’s their season because: The seasonal fruits and vegetables are affordable and since they are more abundant, you can stock them up. They are extremely beneficial to our health – they function as antioxidants, help detoxification, and can reduce DNA damage.

Nature is designed in such way to provide the required nutrition for us to stay healthy. Scientist believe we shouldn’t eat products which are out of season for nutritional reasons.

By eating local, seasonal foods you can help reduce the environmental costs associated with your food. Local produce is more likely to be ripened on the farm before being harvested and delivered therefore has better flavor.
