While February brings many chilly and gray days, it also brings vibrant colors to the produce aisle that are nutritious and tantalize our taste buds. Let's run through what to include in your seasonal eats!

Citrus Fruits: February marks the peak of citrus season, presenting us with many of our favorite zesty fruits. Oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes infuse our dishes with refreshing flavors but also provide a generous dose of vitamin C to ward off cold season. 

Leafy Greens: Dark, leafy greens continue to thrive in February, offering a nutritional powerhouse for those seeking a healthful start to the year. Spinach, kale, Swiss chard, and collard greens are at their prime, packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. 

Root Vegetables: Hearty root vegetables like carrots, beets, and sweet potatoes make for a delicious and nutritious base for any meal. Roast them for a delightful side dish, puree them into soups, or incorporate them into stews to savor the wholesome goodness of these seasonal staples.

Cruciferous Vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts are in their element during February. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, these cruciferous vegetables offer a versatile canvas for creating nutritious and flavorful meals.

Avocados: February brings us the creamy goodness of avocados, adding a touch of indulgence to our meals. Packed with healthy fats, avocados are not only delicious but also contribute to heart health. Enjoy them on toast, blended into smoothies, or add them as a decadent addition to salads.

Happy seasonal feasting!
