When Is Your Favourite Fruit or Veg in Season?
A recent study in the UK found that most UK consumers have no idea when their favorite fruit and vegetables are in season.
Many consumers reported buying fruits and vegetables any time of year, without any knowledge of when those fruits and vegetables are at their best – and most affordable.
Do you know when your favorite fruit and veg is in season?
When you buy fruits and vegetables when they are in season, you can enjoy them at their most flavorful, support local growers, and save money.
You could also try growing your own. Many people – especially children – are more likely to eat more fruits and vegetables when they’ve been involved in the growing process. It also helps children learn about where food comes from.
