Winter Fruit and Vegetable Guide - Macros Registered Dietitian | Registered Dietitian in Huntington Beach

Purchasing in season fresh fruits and vegetables will ensure that you never overpay and that they are optimal in taste. Here’s your Winter Fruit and Vegetable Guide.

As of next week, it will officially be Winter! It’s crazy how fast this year has come and gone, yet seemingly dragged on. One thing is for sure, 2020 is a year that none of us will ever forget. If you survived 2020, with a little bit of sanity in tow, well I think you’re just a rockstar. You should be so proud of yourself! To round out the year, I wanted to provide one last seasonal fruit and vegetable guide. Winter is a fun time because it’s full of ALL of the citrus, cruciferous vegetables, sweet potato everything, and winter squash galore. My favorite fruit of this season, hands down, is the blood orange. It’s so vibrant in color (my love language), sweet yet tart in taste, and has all of those vitamin C immunity benefits that we so badly need during the Winter months. I hope this Winter Fruit and Vegetable Guide opens your eyes to a new fruit or vegetable to try and brings some excitement to your Winter season.

Remember that the key to smart grocery shopping is to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season so that you never spend more than you should. The produce will also be at their peak in regards to taste, look and feel. If you want to preserve them to last all year round you can freeze, can, or turn them into a jam! Expert tip for freezing: cut up/prepare the fruit or vegetable in the way that you would use them to allow for easier consumption and use when you thaw them out.
