Four Seasons of Produce
Wherever you live, produce picked at its peak is one of life's great pleasures: a juicy tomato, warm from the vine, is the essence of summer, while the mellow sweetness of a baked butternut squash puts fall right onto your dinner table.
Of course, what's in season when will depend on where you live: in spring, summer, and fall, the farmer's market is a great reference point; in the winter months, you're more likely to find storage veggies that keep well. Use our handy chart as a rough guide for what's yummy when, and what's good to grab frozen year-round: fruits and veggies that maintain their deliciousness even after a trip through the freezer.
