We all look for those delicious and nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables when we go shopping. However, most of us don’t spend the time to think when those fruits and vegetables were harvested, where those we were grown and what conditions those have been at until they reached our shopping cart. All those factors have a major impact on the taste and the nutrient content of the fruits and vegetables we purchase. To enjoy most of the health benefits of fruits and vegetables we should eat them in the same season those were harvested. The only way to get the most out of your fresh produce is to buy locally and in season. The following infographic will help you with that. It shows which locally grown fruits and vegetables you can expect to find at each season for the New York area.
