From juicy immune-boosting grapefruit to beautiful green superfood spinach, this seasonal produce guide is full of fruits & veggies and healthy recipe ideas that will inspire you to eat fresh and seasonal throughout the month of FEBRUARY.
Fruits and vegetables always taste better when they are in season and harvested at the peak of freshness. Eating seasonal means not only eating fresh foods that are packed with nutrients but also savings in the family budget. To make it easier for you to plan your meals as well as make a grocery list, I created this seasonal produce guide to inspire you to eat healthily throughout the whole month.
The winter is in full swing. And while many think winter is boring and lacking in colors, if you visit a farmers market now you will notice it's quite colorful and stocked with beautiful winter fruits and veggies.
You will find amazing immune-boosting citrus fruits and beautiful greens, all bursting with flavors and freshness. Kiwis, grapefruits, lemons, kale, and spinach... just to name a few.
