Seasonal Food

 

Here are some benefits of buying food that is in season:

  • Food that is in season is more likely to be produced locally therefore reducing food miles;
  • By reducing food miles the food reaches the shop more quickly so it is fresher;
  • Fresh food has more nutritional value and better flavour; and
  • Fresh food will last longer so hopefully reducing the amount you throw out.
