So what produce is in season where I live?
By Brenna Spurgeon
Asparagus in December? When seasonality of fruits and veggies is only marginally reflected in price, how is one to know what is truly “in season” at a particular geographic location?
The Natural Resources Defense Council has a section of its website where you can input the state in which you live, as well as the time of year, and find out what produce is in season. The site also lists produce that is available in bordering states.
Since much of the produce in supermarkets is available year round, this website is a great tool for figuring out what items will be at their peak flavor and can help reduce your carbon footprint by choosing food that did not have to be transported a long distance.
