The intake of fresh and seasonal food is always recommended. And although in a globalized world it is very easy to get all kinds of ingredients of plant origin at almost any time of the year; if we look for locally produced food, there are also certain fresh and good quality fruits and vegetables, almost all year round at our disposal.
The specimens that we can obtain almost every month of the year
Although all foods have their favorite season, in which they find their best production season and therefore have a lower price as well as a higher quality in the market; there are certain ingredients of plant origin that adapt well to almost any climate and for that reason, they are available to us all year round without being imported from another country.
Among these foods, we find vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, beets, radishes, onions, potatoes, squash, lettuce, and spinach.
While these foods they are presented in the market almost every month of the year, on certain occasions they may have lower quality and higher price, depending on the production of the ingredient.
Between the fruits that adapt well to any climate and that therefore can be within our reach almost every month of the year, there are: tomato, banana and apples that can easily be added to our daily table.
You are fruits, vegetables and greens they occur to a greater or lesser extent, but throughout the year. For this reason, we recommend according to the season, making the most of ingredients that do not last and whose production is limited in short periods of time, always including these other specimens that are never present and accessible.
