Eat Seasonably Throughout The Year

We all know it is best to eat local, organic and fresh.  But did you also know that you should eat what is seasonal?  If strawberries are not in season, it doesn’t matter how good you think those bioflavanoids are for you when it’s been picked in another country.  It was picked when ripe so gas was sprayed on that apple to ripen it while it sat in warehouse for 6 months.  By the time it reaches you, even though it is red, it is nutritional devoid. So what’s the point of eating what you assume is healthy when it’s actually become dead food.  Natural enzymes?  Gone!  Nutritional Value?  Zero! Eat local, eat real food, go to the farmers market and know who you are buying from.  Do they spray their crops?  Local produce always tastes the best and has the most nutrition because it was probably picked yesterday AND it is always in season if it is local produce.  Plus you can make a new friend AND learn something new as you experience foods you’ve never tried.

So what are you cooking right now?

Much love and a healthy body,
