What’s in season: DECEMBER

From juicy pomegranates to earthy beets, this seasonal produce guide is full of HEALTHY recipe ideas that will inspire you to eat fresh and as seasonally as possible throughout the month DECEMBER.

I’m a big supporter of a healthy diet and for me eating healthy means eating seasonally and locally grown foods. Eating seasonal produce rewards me with many benefits – from savings in the family budget to high quality produce packed with nutrition. To make easier for you to plan your meals as well as make grocery list, I created this seasonal produce GUIDE. It’s here to inspire you to eat healthy throughout the whole month. 

Winter and cold weather is fast approaching and many people think that farmers market doesn’t offer much of fresh produce. But man how this thinking is wrong. Markets are loaded with fruits and veggies that you can enjoy. Pomegranates, citrus fruits, crunchy fresh cabbages and beautiful greens. Colours and tastes are amazing! Here’s what’s in season in the month DECEMBER. Check out the linked fruits and vegetables for recipe ideas. Enjoy! ;)
