Keeping on our theme this week of minimizing food waste, today we're going to talk about seasonal eating and getting the most out of the winter vegetables you'll find at your farmer's market and grocery store this time of year. The statistics on food waste are sobering, as discussed yesterday. Reducing food waste takes a multi-pronged approach. Some of the things you can do to waste less food and be more sustainable in the kitchen include: Prioritize the produce that is seasonal in your region. Don't buy more than you need. Learn how to store food correctly. Learn how to preserve food if you won't eat it in time. Use the whole plant when possible. (Hint: All of the vegetables we'll be mentioning today have edible leaves!) Use food scraps in broth, soups, smoothies. Compost what you don't eat. (More on composting tomorrow!) The week of Feb 21, 2022, Primal Kitchen is featuring ways to cut down on food waste. Find food waste facts, waste reduction tips, exclusive recipes, and resources from the Farmlink Project by signing up here. All week, MDA will be featuring posts that can help you get the most bang for your grocery budget and minimize food waste to boot! What Is Seasonal Eating? Seasonal eating means making an effort to buy vegetables and fruits that are naturally grown and harvested in a given climate. Technically, this can include food grown on the other side of the planet and flown or shipped thousands of miles to your local grocer—for example, apples grown in Chile or New Zealand and sent to New England in winter. They are in season in the region they were grown, hence "seasonal." Generally speaking, though, when we talk about seasonal eating, we have more locally grown produce in mind. In-season, local fruits and vegetables are likely to be fresher and tastier by the time they make it to your plate, so you're more apt to eat them. The less they have to travel, the less likely they are to spoil in transit, too, and they'll carry a smaller ecological footprint. Another benefit of seasonal eating is that it encourages you to diversify your diet throughout the year. For those of us who value variety, eating according to the season means you effortlessly incorporate a diverse array of produce as you move from hearty winter greens, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus fruits to summer berries, tomatoes, cucumber, and zucchini to autumn's apples and squashes. Of course, your ability to buy in-season and local produce depends very much on where you live. If you're currently buried under feet of snow, you won't have the same access to locally grown vegetables as someone who lives in a warmer climate. Gardening websites and resources like the USDA can tell you what grows well in your area and beyond throughout the year. As always, this is a "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" situation. Eating seasonally is a great goal to strive for, but it shouldn't … Continue reading "Seasonal Eating: Getting the Most Out of Winter Vegetables"
