    eating for the season


    Reasons to eat in-season foods: EXAMPLES OF SEASONAL FOODS
    FOR CALIFORNIA IN OCTOBER
    THEY ARE FRESHER
    Compared to other produce, seasonal produce is
    picked when ripe, instead of early to provide time for
    transportation. For this reason, seasonal produce is
    usually also local which allows customers to support
    local farmers, help generate jobs, and reduce their
    carbon footprint. Finally, produce tastes better when
    is it picked closer to peak ripeness Brussel Citrus Figs
    Sprouts
    THEY USUALLY COST LESS
    Seasonal produce is usually less expensive since there
    is lower costs for transportation. This is usually
    reflected in the price at the store or the farmers
    market. Additionally, the produce that is picked may
    be more time sensitive since they are already ripe,
    which means that suppliers want to sell the produce
    quickly so as to avoid food waste and loss of money. Persimmons Radishes Squash
