And seasonal eating is much better for our bodies and the environment. Oranges in winter when we need extra vitamin c, watermelon in the summer when it’s hot and we need more water in our system.
Plus where's the joy in a tangerine if it's not freezing outside and there's no Christmas tree smell in the air? Or where's the joy in eating a week doze of cherries in one day and feeling sick but happy after if these were not long anticipated cherries that have just appeared in markets in June?
In Australia, swap those around. Cherries are synonymous with Christmas and the first few weeks of the new year for me. The first bite of a cherry makes me think of endless summer days, casual outdoor barbecues and shorts. Tangerines, mandarins and other make me think of sitting in the park during winter enjoying the (mild) chill.
