What foods are in season this month?

The wide variety of products in stores often makes it hard to choose. And it’s often the price that determines what we put in our shopping cart.

However, to protect our health and the planet, there are other important factors to consider:

• Seasonality of products: fruits, vegetables, and even cheese, meat, and fish shouldn’t be consumed the same way all year round
• Labels found on food products.
• Where the food is produced: prioritize local products

Be careful not to make multiple car trips to visit different local producers to buy your fruits, then your vegetables, then your cheeses and eggs… You risk negating the benefits of your efforts by emitting a lot of greenhouse gases from your travel.
