Eat Foods That Are in Season 

Fruits, vegetables, grains and seeds are all being nourished by the natural forces of the universe. They are the main source of living energies and nutrients, which are vital to our health. Each plant has its own nature, characteristic, properties and specialties and they have their own timetable of growing and maturing. When a food is in season, it is the time to consume plenty of it because the quality and nutritional content will be at its best. The abundant supply keeps the price low making it most affordable.

Seasonal foods are also a gift from nature, which keeps our needs in mind. For example, in spring, there are more sprouts, leafy greens and flowering vegetables to provide us with good nutrition to support new growth. In summer, there are plenty of fruits and vegetables with high fluid content, such as tomatoes and watermelons. They quench our thirst and cool us down from the summer heat. In autumn, root vegetables, nuts and grains are plentiful. They are for us to keep and eat through the winter months before the next growing season.
