1. Fruits and Vegetables in Season
Details about the fruits and vegetables in season can give you a new way to keep yourself healthy
throughout the year. These foods can not only give you health, but can also be a treat for your taste
buds, as the produce keeps on changing and gives new tasty experiences every few months.
The best way to keep yourself healthy is to have a healthy diet. It's not necessary that your healthy
diet is bound to have the same fruits and vegetables all round the year. Every season has its own
specialties. Although nowadays, we can get any fruit or vegetable throughout the year, but these are
either stored or hybrid ones, which are not as tasty and nutritious as they are supposed to be. This is
the reason why people should be aware of types of fruits and vegetables in season at different times
of the year. Always get your produce fresh from the market instead of getting them in a canned or
preserved form. You can observe the differences with your own eyes. The fact is that once you pluck
something from its plant, it starts losing its nutritional value. Hence it becomes very necessary to eat
the vegetables as fresh as you can to get maximum nutrition and taste.
Seasonal Produce
Every plant grows in a particular environment which is favorable for its growth, hence they are
found only in that season which provides those conditions. The four seasons are, spring (March,
April, and May), summer (June, July, and August), autumn (September, October, and November) and
winter (December, January, and February).
