Cooking Seasonally (Aka With What You Already Have!)

Until semi-recently, we all feasted on what we could grow. There was no option to have fruits and vegetables imported to our local or mega grocery stores, from other parts of the county or world. We enjoyed what was available to us, right here, and now.

When We Eat Seasonally, We Are Purchasing Food As Close As Possible To The Time It Was Harvested. What Does That Mean?

  • DELICIOUS (PEAK OF FRESHNESS)

  • NUTRIENT DENSITY (NUTRITION IS LOST THE LONGER YOU WAIT TO EAT IT)

  • LITTLE TO NO TRANSPORTATION (BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT) 

  • VOTING WITH YOUR DOLLAR (THE MORE WE CHOOSE LOCAL/ORGANIC, THE MORE DEMAND IT WILL HAVE)

  • SUPPORTING LOCAL / BENEFITING OUR LOCAL ECONOMY 

  • SUPPORTING THE FARMER’S HEALTH (THINK OF WHAT WE EXPOSE FARMERS TO WHEN WE DON’T CHOOSE ORGANIC)
