Planning Your Meals With Produce According To The Seasons

Planning your meals with produce according to the seasons of the year saves you money and delivers more nutrition than out of season foods. For example, in summer, zucchini, tomatoes and corn are plentiful and relatively cheap, while broccoli and cauliflower are pricey and not of top quality. You’re money ahead to serve meals which include the produce that’s in season. Cooking according to the seasons of the year guarantees variety throughout the year. In winter, hearty stews and soups, which include potatoes, winter squash, broccoli, fennel and early carrots serve your family’s nutritional needs, taste buds and your wallet.
