’tis the season.

Eating local, seasonal produce means your food takes the road less traveled on the way to your plate. Saving miles saves fuel and emissions, and you already know how sexy that is. Knowing to eat the season’s bounty is easy, but knowing what’s in season can be tricky. These days, you can have mangoes in your Christmas stocking and cranberries in your summer sangria, so who can say what’s in season or not? Modern horticulture and global trade have made shopping for fruits and vegetables a seasonless experience, but that doesn’t mean it’s great for the environment. To find what’s in season in your neck of the woods, type “seasonal produce” into your favorite search engine, or check out the Peak Season Map on Epicurious.com, the favorite website of foodies everywhere.
