Winter Produce Guide
It's no secret that there are less options in the winter when it comes to fresh produce. However, with the help of frozen fruits and vegetables, along with a few significant seasonal ingredients, the winter can be just as delicious and fruitful as the spring and summer.
Citrus season in the winter months, for instance, is something we look forward all year round. Grapefruits and orange varieties like blood oranges are simply not as flavorful, sweet, and delicious as they are during peak season. Their bright, sunny flavors will remind you of the summer even in the coldest days of February.

Why eat seasonally?
We try to eat seasonally and even locally when we can for a few reasons. Mainly, produce tastes fresher, crisper, and more delicious. Plus, when fruits and vegetables are harvest in peak season, they're at their peak nutritional value. Eating seasonally means getting the most out of your produce.
