Even in today’s ever-shrinking world/globalized economy/all that jazz, the best things are often the things that occur naturally and aren’t forced to flower under greenhouse lights. An added bonus is the fact that, without the additional cost of implementing such artificial methods, seasonal produce costs the grower less to grow, which means it costs the grocery store less to stock, which means that it costs you less to buy. Plus, seasonal produce is more likely to be grown locally, so if you’re a fan of the locavore movement, this is your best bet. Photo by Sodanie Chea, CC by 2.0 In honor of these benefits and a rapidly-fading winter (at least in the northern hemisphere), we’ve compiled a quick list of winter produce that is at its prime for just a few weeks more. Get your hands on these while they’re still fresh! While there really is a plethora of foods that flourish in the winter, we’ve narrowed our list down to the most common items that you’ll likely find in pretty much any, non-specialty, grocery. Citrus fruits, like oranges and lemons Roots vegetables, like beets, turnips, carrots, and parsnips Brussels sprouts Leeks and onions Kale and collards Cabbage and radicchio Pomegranate Winter squash For those who are looking for something a bit more comprehensive, we suggest this longer vegetable guide and/or this longer fruit guide. Happy shopping!
