Get seasonal cooking resources, healthy recipes and our favorite eco-product recommendations over at http://www.jenbtv.com/food-and-drink/cookin-whats-in-season-an-introduction/ EPISODE SUMMARY: In this intro to our series on seasonal cooking, Jen talks about all the reasons that eating in season is the super-smart choice. Out of season food from the grocery store is flown and trucked in from far-away, harvested before it's ripe and can just taste "bleh". Save yourself money and give yourself the right nutrients and full flavors by sticking to what naturally tastes great at the right time of the year. Seasonal ingredients help you be a better cook and using them is the cornerstone of a healthy diet. WHY THIS MATTERS: 1) Seasonal foods taste better than out of season foods 2) They're better for You 3) They're better for the planet 4) They're better for your Budget 3 SMALL THINGS YOU CAN DO THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE 1) Embrace local seasonal produce just say no to conventional produce doctored up, flown in, and lacking in rich seasonal nutrients. 2) Can your summer produce especially those tomatoes to have great sauces in the winter. 3) Keep a kitchen herb garden thyme, rosemary, oregano, mint, and parsley do well in windowsill pots.
