    Seasonal Produce Map

    Posted on 06/03/08
    Veganomics Lesson One: Shop for in-seasonĀ produce. Aside from lower costs and less travel time, fruits and vegetables are tastiest when they areĀ in-season. Here is an awesome tool from Epicurious.com to find out what produce is in season for any area of the country:

    Peak-Season Map

    Use this interactive map to see what's fresh in any area, plus find ingredient descriptions, shopping guides, recipes, and tips.

    Currently in season for June (Michigan):

    Asparagus
    Blackberries
    Cherries
    Peas
    Potatoes
    Rhubarb
    Strawberries

    I was very jealous to see some of the produce lists for other states (so wish I lived on the border between North and South Carolina, or any state in New England).

    Homework: Take advantage of seasonal produce, such as locally-grown rhubarb.
