Winter might make you think of comfort foods, but it's also a fantastic time to explore seasonal produce and cook up some tasty, healthy meals. Dietitians recommend trying out winter fruits like oranges and tangerines, and root vegetables such as sweet potatoes and beets. Don't overlook winter greens like kale and spinach either! If fresh options are scarce, frozen and canned produce are reliable alternatives.
Soups, stews, and porridges are winter's MVPs. They're easy to make, adaptable, and a brilliant way to experiment with various beans, legumes, and grains. Spices and herbs can add a ton of flavor and nutrients to your dishes. Winter is the perfect season to get creative with different tastes.
Eating with the seasons can help you feel more connected to your food and the environment. Why not start a soup club with friends? It's a fun way to try new things and socialize over a warm bowl.
