Introduction

Seasonal eating is more than a culinary tradition; it’s a lifestyle choice that benefits your health, the environment, and your taste buds. By embracing what’s fresh and in season, you’ll enjoy produce at its peak flavor and nutritional value while supporting sustainable farming practices. Winter is brimming with delicious options like hearty root vegetables, leafy greens, and zesty citrus fruits—all of which can inspire comforting and nourishing meals.

Why Eat Seasonally in Winter?

Nutritional Value
Winter produce is packed with nutrients that align perfectly with the body’s needs during colder months. For example, sweet potatoes and carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which supports immune function. Kale and spinach are loaded with iron, which can help combat winter fatigue. PRESS Healthfoods’ Supergreens Soup is a great way to enjoy these nutrient-dense greens in a warming, flavorful bowl.

Sustainability
Eating seasonally reduces the environmental impact of transporting out-of-season produce from across the globe. By choosing local winter crops, you support farmers and reduce your carbon footprint.

Superior Flavor
Seasonal fruits and vegetables are harvested at their peak, delivering unmatched taste. There’s nothing quite like the crisp sweetness of a winter pear or the vibrant zest of an orange. PRESS’s Daily Lean Green Juice captures the essence of freshness, combining spinach, celery, cucumber, and citrus for a hydrating boost.

Top Winter Produce to Try

• Root Vegetables: Sweet potatoes, parsnips, turnips, and carrots are versatile and perfect for roasting, soups, or mashes.
