Say YES to seasonal fruits and Vegetables

         A typical day of ours never ends without consuming vegetables and some delicious fruits. Usually when we visit the vegetable shop or super market we tend to buy the vegetables which every one likes at home or the one which is very tastier or the one which is cheaper or the one we think is healthier. This common buying behaviour leads to a boring basket of fruits and veggies. Kids will soon start complaining about the same taste they get every day and many a times they might even refuse to have food.

        Eating an apple may keep the doctor away but at the same time if forced to eat only apples every day might keep the kids away from apple. Eating the same veggies and fruits will be more costly too. Here is a solution to these problems, “Seasonal fruits and Vegetables”.

        Seasonal food refers to the time of the year when some fruit or vegetables are at peak in terms of its harvest and flavor. So naturally the item would be cheaper and fresh at this time of the year. It is also natural that fewer pesticides are used to grow the food during their normal season, as they have more resistance to weed and insects during that time than growing them off season.

        Many a time’s radiation to be passed refrigerated and preservatives are used to kill the germs and to keep the food fresh. With this process food will loses its taste and nutrients. Have you ever thought “How apples are available through out the year?” that is because they are being imported from other countries and they have been undergone so many treatments just before they reached your hand. You will be shocked to know that the apple you eat are one year old, follow the link for more details http://www.foodrenegade.com/your-apples-year-old/.

    Following are the benefits of seasonal fruits and vegetables.

1. Fresh and Tastier: Fresh foods are always counts high on taste than the stored food.

2. Nutritious: Fresh products are always high on nutrients so they give more health benefits when consumed fresh.

3. Cheaper: Seasonal foods are usually local; they don’t have to travel a long to reach you so they won’t add more burdens on your pockets.

4. Variety: Variety of food available through out the year.

    Below are few tips to buy your veggies and fruits fresh.

1. Try to buy fruits and vegetables local, hand cart sellers usually keep only seasonal items. Even though they are little dusty, you can any way wash them clean once you buy them.

2. Try to find the local farmer markets near you; this is mutually beneficial for you and the farmers.
