Seasonal foods by Brett.G
1. The term seasonal foods mean foods that are in season or grow
the best in a certain season.
2. Eating seasonally is a good idea because if you don’t some people
might think your weird because they eat in season. Certain people
choose to certain foods in at a certain moment like eating
pumpkin pie in the fall and berries in the summer. It’s habit for
some people and some of those people don’t even know they are
doing it. Some seasons have better food then others.
3. In late summer and early fall seasonal foods are like apples,
cranberry’s, berries’, corn, and potatoes.
