Eating healthy and staying healthy also means eating seasonal and local produce.  By choosing your foods in season, you will benefit from maximum nutrition with at least 3x more vital nutrients found in the crops. You also support the local farmers, and the produce taste is much delicious because the fruit and veg have fully ripened and kept its flavour.
