Today’s Challenge
Let’s talk about seasonal eating.
Not only is it a whole lot less expensive, but it’s also more nutritious to enjoy things that are currently in-season. In the winter, you have starchier vegetables like rutabagas, turnips, and parsnips. These have extra calories and the nutrients you need to keep you warmer and healthier. In the summer, you have lighter produce, like cucumbers and tomatoes. These keep you cooler and provide the nutrients you need. Berries even provide some sun protection.
