Seasonal preservation

Seasonal preservation is a technique used to extend the freshness and usability of perishable foods by processing or storing them during their peak harvest times. Methods like canning, freezing, drying, or fermenting help lock in flavors, nutrients, and quality when the produce is at its best, allowing it to be enjoyed months later when out of season. This process helps reduce waste, ensures availability year-round, and maintains the food's nutritional value without chemical additives. Essentially, seasonal preservation captures the bounty of a specific time to enjoy it later, maintaining its natural qualities.
