Seasonal Produce
There a number of good reasons to eat more local, seasonal food:
-
to reduce the energy (and associated CO2 emissions) needed to grow and transport the food we eat
-
to avoid paying a premium for food that is scarcer or has travelled a long way
-
to support the local economy
-
to reconnect with nature’s cycles and the passing of time
but, most importantly, because
-
seasonal food is fresher and so tends to be tastier and more nutritious
