A lot of people like to talk about eating seasonally, but what does that really mean? In short, it means that the fruits and vegetables you buy should be bought only during the time it’s meant to grow. With modern technology, big companies can produce almost any produce item all throughout the year. However, that is not how plants naturally grow. If you value your food, your community, and the planet, think about eating more seasonally.
Local Economy
By buying food that is in season, you are helping local farmers and businesses stay afloat. That is because they depend on local people to buy their products. Also, buying locally sourced products also helps cut down on carbon emissions from transporting the goods. So by buying from a local source, you’re doing more good for yourself and others.
Taste
Fruits and vegetables taste better when they are grown at the right time of year in the correct environment. There is a big difference in taste from something that is grown in appropriate soil as opposed to something that is grown inorganically. If you’re going to buy fruits and vegetables, you want them to taste their best or what’s the point of eating them in the first place.
