Seasonal Grocery List: Spring

One of my Golden Rules is to try and eat as many different foods as possible. Buying according to what is in season is a good way to have a more varied diet – for example apples and blackberries after the harvest festival in October, roots and cabbages in winter, asparagus in spring and strawberries in summer.

Of course, while I prefer letting nature’s rhythms inspire my kitchen, bringing nutritional variety as the seasons wax and wane, finding seasonal ingredients is not always easy. This list has helped me at least to know what foods I should be aiming to buy when.

Buying seasonal produce is good for us because in-season food tends to taste better and have more nutrients because it’s fresher – more nutrients equals better brain food!

Take this spring shopping list with you the next time you do a food shop.
