Why is it important to eat fruits and vegetables in-season?
We all know vegetables and fruits are most delicious when they're fresh.
But these days you can get anything at any time you want from the supermarket.
We've all gotten used to having a rainbow of produce available always. Almost the only thing that we still have is 'pumpkin season' for Halloween ๐
Did you know that spring onions are not actually at their best in spring? They're always in store. So it's not strange that you might not realize this has quite the impact on our climate.
When something does not naturally grow in season, it costs a lot extra to produce it,
- in a greenhouse ๐ญ,
- to freeze it to prolong shelf-life โ๏ธ,
- or to transport it from somewhere else ๐.
In other words: convenience is costing us in energy and polution.

Luckily, it's easy to make a change. By cooking and eating what's in season and locally available, you can make a difference.
By making conscious choices when shopping instead of going for convenience, you can already make a difference.
And as an added benefit, eating in-season will also help you:
- appreciate variation in veggies and fruits more. Better enjoy those now!
- be more in-tune with nature - berries are best in spring and summer, kale and cabbages come when it's cold
- make it easier to support locally harvested from local farmers
- often automatically reduce your shopping costs
