With winter gone and spring upon us, there’s plenty to look forward to – warmer weather, spring flowers, spring cleaning (maybe not) and the selection of spring fruits and vegetables to enjoy!

Incorporating foods that are currently in season into meals, not only gives us the chance to try out new recipes and keep meals fresh and interesting, but when foods are in season they are also tastier and have a higher nutrient content.

Fruits and vegetables that are in season during spring include, for example; strawberries, blueberries, cherries, asparagus, spinach, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers.
