Seasonal ingredient suggestions from "summary" of The Vegan Stoner Cookbook by Sarah Conrique,Graham I. Haynes
For those who want to eat more sustainably, seasonal ingredients are the way to go. Not only are they fresher and tastier, but they also have a lower carbon footprint since they don't have to be transported long distances. By choosing ingredients that are in season, you can support local farmers and reduce your impact on the environment. In the spring, look for ingredients like asparagus, peas, and strawberries. These fresh, vibrant ingredients can add a pop of color and flavor to your meals. As the weather warms up, you may find yourself craving lighter dishes, so take advantage of all the delicious produce that spring has to offer. In the summer, you'll find an abundance of fruits and vegetables at their peak. Tomatoes, zucchini, and corn are just a few of the ingredients that shine in the summer months. Whether you're firing up the grill or making a refreshing salad, summer produce is sure to liven up your meals. As the weather starts to cool down in the fall, hearty ingredients like squash, apples, and root vegetables come into season. These ingredients are perfect for comforting, warming dishes like soups and stews. Embrace the flavors of fall by incorporating these seasonal ingredients into your cooking. In the winter, you may not have as many fresh fruits and vegetables to choose from, but there are still plenty of delicious ingredients to work with. Citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits are in season during the winter months, as well as hearty greens like kale and collard greens. Get creative with these winter ingredients to brighten up your meals during the colder months.
