As the fall/autumn season slowly approaches and the summer soon comes to an end be sure to purchase your produce when they are at there best. I’ve attached this chart by Chef Kendra (see source below) so that you can stay on top of which foods are in season. This will ensure that you are getting your produce when they are full of flavor and nutritional value. Remember, just because it’s in the grocery store does not mean that its in its prime!
