WHICH FOODS ARE IN
SEASON IN MARCH?
Broccoli is a tough and hardy
plant, hence its ability to withstand
the winter and be ready to delight
us in March. Root vegetables such
as parsnips, carrots, swedes and
potatoes and dark, leafy greens,
like kale and cabbages are also
available now - perfect for making
stews and soups.
Forced rhubarb - a growing
method that starves the crop of
light to produce a sweeter, vivid

red variety - is grown in Yorkshire
and is in season till April.

he next time you wander
around a supermarket
looking for lunch, consider
how everything you see has
travelled to get there. A quarter of
global greenhouse emissions come
from food - and while most of that
is from animal and dairy products,
there's a massive carbon footprint
attached to items such as apples
that have been transported from
the other side of the planet.
But why buy from overseas
when you can eat what's in season
here in the UK? For starters, local
foods often retain more nutrients.
In addition, locally grown produce
may be safer.

DO FOODS THAT ARE IN
SEASON TASTE BETTER?
Absolutely. Think about asparagus
in April - deep green, moist, sweet
and beautifully tender.
WHICH FOODS ARE
ALWAYS IN SEASON?
Our seasonal climate means that
no crop is always in season, but
British potatoes and apples store
well, so are available most of the
year. Mushrooms are grown in
sheds and warehouses, and are
available from UK growers all year.
Eating seasonally means taking a
leaf out of our ancestors' book and
preserving food in the form of
pickles, jams and ferments to last
through the winter months.
HOW DOES EATING
LOCAL SAVE MONEY?
The lower transportation and
production costs of seasonal
produce will often be reflected in
the price. When a particular item
is in high supply, the price comes
down, too. That's the time to stock
up and save your cash day.
