Produce that is local and in-season for your geographic area contains more nutrients, because it's so fresh. Fruit and veggies lose nutrients as soon as they are harvested. The cost and amount of time it takes to ship from distant places makes veggie and fruit prices higher than local fare.

Eating fresh fruits and vegetables when they are in-season is more flavorful, eco-friendly, and nutritious. Fruits and veggies don't have to be processed or preserved.
In-season produce spends less time in transit from farm to table, so it retains more of its flavor and nutrition. It also costs less than crops that are imported.
Eating high quality food can help you look and feel healthier, boost energy and mood, and improves sleep and overall wellness.
Those things are excellent reasons why food selection needs
to be an important lifestyle priority.

I love summer vegetables, especially vegetables I add to my salad such as butter lettuce, cucumbers, any color peppers, celery, mushrooms, and onion.
ReplyDeleteI also love autumn squashes.
Thanks for mentioning avoiding vegetables grown with pesticides.
Yum yum. I love that produce too. Thanks for the comment and be well Beth.
DeleteI've always heard that it is best to eat fruit and vegetables in season and grown locally. You make some excellent points in this interesting post. Thanks Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judee for your kind words and affirmation. Wishing you health and fun this summer.
DeleteWe are loving eating fresh, locally grown, in-season fruits and veggies. I think that's a bit part of why I love summer so much.
ReplyDeleteSee that. We have that in common. Thanks for your feedback and wishing you a beautiful day.
DeleteLiving in a farming area with lots of crops, we prefer to buy from the farmers directly if possible at all. As we're only two, it's easy to get just enough at the farm stall to use before it spoils. Love that asparagus dish you have here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your post at B&I
