One of the reasons why I love eating seasonal fruits and veggies is the taste. Fruits and vegetables really do taste better when they are in their peak season. When they are picked, they have been naturally ripened on the vine or tree and harvested at just the right time. They have so much flavor and nutrition that make food enjoyable to eat! Don't we all hate to eat a flavorless tomato or a limp tasting salad? Exactly- we don't !
Another reason why I love shopping fresh is it's cheaper! Farmers are harvesting a large abundance of produce due to the crop being in season, which makes the cost of the produce will go down. When it's locally sourced because of the season in your particular area, traveling expenses and storage aren't required- which also reduces the production cost!
These particular Bell peppers are ones I like to use as often as I can, especially crisp Bell peppers, because I know my family will devour them. I truly love purchasing these Fresh From Florida produce options because it also helps support their business and families. By purchasing these fruits and veggies, you're helping farmers in your community which then in turn helps to build a stronger connection between you as the eater and the grower.
