PRINCE GEORGE – This past summer may have been rough for weather, and now that temperatures are falling, what shows up on your plate might begin to change. Pumpkins, squash, carrots, and beets are just some of the fresh veggies that are coming into season. Many of those root vegetables are jam-packed with tons of vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy, balanced diet. And when searching for these vegetables, just keep in mind, the more colour, the better.
Supporting local growers will also get you the freshest produce. But, there are many other benefits to buying local. They are a true from-the-ground-to-the-table experience.
“It’s all of these great nutritional benefits. Good for you, good for the planet, that sort of thing. But again, I don’t think you can beat the flavour. The carrots that are grown locally are absolutely amazing. You don’t have to do anything with them.”
