It’s seasonal eating check-in time.  Seasonal food is produce that is purchased and consumed around the time that it is harvested.  Fall has arrived, and it’s time for a little reminder on what seasonal eats are bursting with freshness and nutrients this time of the year.  As the leaves begin to change and the air gets crisper a new crop of fruits and vegetables will be arriving to your farmer’s market and local grocery store.  The autumn harvest brings a variety of healthful and delicious items for the seasonal eater.  The bounty is far more than just the usual fall favorites like apples and pumpkins.

 

Fruits and vegetables are best when eaten as close to when they are picked. Buying seasonal produce will add a pop of flavor to your meals. If you purchase your fruits and vegetables at a farmer’s market near you, you will also be supporting local farmers and reducing the carbon footprint from produce that has to be trucked across the country.  In addition, purchasing locally will save you some money as produce in season is often on sale because it is in surplus.  Stock up on these seasonal beauties!

  5. After I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked the -Notify
    me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a
    comment is added I receive 4 emails with the same comment.
    Perhaps there is an easy method you are able to remove me
    from that service? Thank you!

  6. Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot
    drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has
    83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  7. GO!!!
    This phrase was said by the first cosmonaut on Earth – Yuri Gagarin. (Yuri Gagarin)
    He was the first astronaut on Earth. He was Russian! …
    Now Russia is becoming a strong country, gas pipelines, a vaccine against COVID-19, an army.
    Is this very reminiscent of the communist Soviet Union?
    How do you think?
    Now we have total control in our country. I am interested in the opinion of foreigners.
