What's Happening?
In Northern California, the arrival of fall brings a variety of new produce items to local markets. Michael Marks, known as the 'produce man,' has highlighted some of the best seasonal fruits and vegetables
available. This includes a range of fresh produce that is both affordable and abundant during this time of year. Marks provides insights into selecting the best quality items and offers tips on how to incorporate them into meals. The focus on seasonal produce not only supports local agriculture but also encourages consumers to explore new flavors and cooking techniques.
Why It's Important?
The emphasis on seasonal produce is significant for both consumers and local farmers. By purchasing in-season fruits and vegetables, consumers can enjoy fresher and more flavorful options while often paying lower prices. This practice also supports local farmers and the regional economy by increasing demand for locally grown products. Additionally, incorporating seasonal produce into diets can promote healthier eating habits and reduce the carbon footprint associated with transporting out-of-season items from distant locations.
