Seasonal Fruit & Vegetables (UK)
Nothing tastes better than fruit and veg grown locally when it's in season. Climate change is extending the British season for some produce, so you have longer to enjoy home grown fruits and vegetables. View the list of months below for a general guide to what is in season and when.
Five reasons to eat 'In Season'
1) Taste - Produce picked and eaten at the height of freshness has more flavor.
2) Freshness - Produce from other countries can't possibly be that fresh. Locally grown fruits and vegetables are usually harvested the same day as they are purchased.
3) Nutrition - Fresh, fully ripe produce contains more nutrients than food that is past its peak of freshness or was harvested before it ripened fully. More...
4) Environment - The environmental impacts of growing and shipping produce, sometimes halfway around the world, are enormous.
5) Local Benefits - Buying seasonal produce from your farmers' market or from neighborhood farms supports your local economy, increasing the local quality of life for everyone.
