Food, Family, Fun - Spring Spring is the season of renewal.
New crops push up above the ground, and animals give birth.
In the markets, a few new vegetables and fruits show up. In most parts of the country, however, the coming of spring doesn't bring the full seasonal bounty that occurs later, in the summer and fall. Still, there are nice, seasonal bargains . As always, foods from the foundation of the Food Guide Pyramid, the Bread, Cereal, Rice and Pasta Group, are readily available. Foods from the Milk, Yogurt and Cheese Group are also in season now.
