The Truth About Seasonal Recipes

By Karina Frost


Happiness takes many forms. This means that this certain feeling is unique to every individual. There could be some things that make you happy but not or others, and vice versa. Happiness for most can be found with pets, family, friends, special someones, material possessions, triumphs, and achievements. Oh, and there is food.

Food is essential for humans and animals alike. It provides nourishment to the body. Without it, a person will not have the energy for daily activities. But, aside from that, food is also a source of pleasure. For some, they do not just eat to live. They live to eat what is in season, trying out some of the seasonal recipes in a fun and very healthy way.

The seasonality of food is a term used to refer to the certain times of the year when a certain produce is at its peak, both in terms of flavor peaking or harvest peaking. It is also the time when the said item is at its cheapest and freshest in markets, which is why wise buyers often wait for the season of their favorite produce to be able to buy many without having to spend so much.

There are many good reasons why you should jump in the seasonal bandwagon. As aforementioned, eating what is in season is absolutely easy on the wallet. Because there is a high supply more than the number of demand, the said food comes cheaper than when you buy it another given time.

Taste is also at its best during peak season. Because they are fresher, they taste their finest yet. They can also be stored for far longer durations as well. They do not have to be stored in refrigerator chillers, too, as the process is known to strip off some of the tangy flavors away.

They also provide you with exciting options all year round. This is the best part of eating healthy, having to look forward to which meals to be prepared next. Variety also means more nutritional options, which means you are getting all the vitamins and minerals needed to make your body fully functional in all of the three hundred and sixty five days of the year.

Good food does not have to come from somewhere very far, too. In fact, if you have been blessed with a green thumb, you can grow your own patch of green in every available area. You they are more convenient, too, and you can harvest every time of the day without having too many factors to consider. Also, food you have grown yourself is way more delicious than the one you just bought.

These are also organic and much healthier as compared to other options. Non seasonal foods often make use of pesticides that allow them to still grow anytime of the year. Healthy living is best started using this method, as nutrients are kept intact when they are grown naturally. Even chefs use these things extensively in all of their cooking.

There are indeed so many good things about eating naturally grown crops. You even help save the environment by favoring the natural method above others. When more and more people try out seasonal diets, then the use of pesticide and other synthetic methods that harm the earth will also die out.
