Frequently Asked Questions
Our seasonal guides are adaptable to different regions. While the exact timing might vary, the principles remain the same. We provide region-specific tips for the most common North American and European climate zones. You can always reference our regional guides for more specific recommendations.
Not at all! In fact, seasonal eating often saves money. When produce is in season locally, it's typically more abundant, doesn't require long-distance shipping, and is priced lower due to availability. Buying and preserving seasonal items at their peak can also help you enjoy quality foods year-round at a lower cost.
Absolutely! Seasonal eating isn't about strict rules—it's about awareness and emphasis. We recommend building the core of your diet around seasonal foods (about 60-70%), while still enjoying your favorites regardless of season. Many staples like grains, legumes, and certain fruits and vegetables are available year-round.
Start simple! Begin by incorporating just 2-3 seasonal items each week. Visit farmers' markets or look for "local" sections in your grocery store. Our seasonal starter guide provides a simple calendar and shopping lists for each season. Remember, even small changes make a difference both for your wellbeing and for the environment.
Frozen and properly preserved foods are excellent ways to enjoy seasonal produce outside their growing season. Foods frozen at peak ripeness often retain more nutrients than "fresh" items that have been shipped long distances. We include preservation techniques in our seasonal guides to help you extend the enjoyment of each season's bounty.
