Seasonal ingredients

Seasonal ingredients refer to fruits, vegetables, and other foods that are harvested at specific times of the year when they are at their peak freshness and flavor. Eating seasonally means choosing these ingredients during their natural growing season, which can enhance taste, nutritional value, and support local agriculture. For example, strawberries are typically in season during spring and early summer, while squash is more common in the fall. By using seasonal ingredients, you can enjoy fresher dishes and reduce environmental impact by minimizing transportation and storage needs.
