Shopping and eating local and seasonal is a top food and nutrition trend for 2023
An easy clue to know what’s in season is the price. If the price of your favourite fruit/vegetable seems expensive, one of the reasons could be that it’s no longer in season and/or it has likely been imported. Buying seasonal will help keep the costs down and encourages supporting local produce suppliers.
3 great reasons to eat seasonally…….
- Abundance – in season produce costs much less, is more readily available, and not flown from halfway across the world.
- Tastes better – produce is ripened naturally by weather conditions most suited and not refrigerated for extended periods of time. *During transportation and storage, some foods loose nutrients.
- Variety – different vegetables are available throughout the year. Ideal for preventing monotony.

You could also consider supporting the small local fruit and vegetable suppliers. There are a number of local fresh fruit and vegetable suppliers that sell direct from the farm and deliver direct to you! This will also guarantee you are buying seasonal produce.
