How can I plan meals around vegetables that are in season locally?
Plan flexibly around what is fresh, affordable and familiar in the local market. Keep alternative vegetables in mind and allow the week's menu to adapt rather than locking every meal to a rigid list.
Why it happens
Seasonal availability varies by region, weather, transport and local market. A calendar is a guide, not a guarantee that every ingredient is available or inexpensive at a given time.
How it works
Seasonality reflects growing conditions and supply chains. Flexible planning helps use produce at its best while accommodating regional and year-to-year variation.
