Eating healthy and staying healthy also means eating seasonal and local produce.  By choosing your foods in season, you will benefit from maximum nutrition; at least 3x more vital nutrients are found in the crops. You also support the local farmers, and the produce taste is much more delicious because the fruit and veg have fully ripened and kept it’s flavour.
Organic Seasonal foods are full of nutrients and better for your health. When Fruit and Veg are picked at their peak and grown locally/ organically they will have 3 x more nutrients than non local and organic, not to mention 4 x more flavour.
