Here we are in the middle of winter, and with the holidays approaching, we generally only dream of comforting soups made with equally comforting vegetables. And since eating in season is important, here’s a list of fruits and vegetables to eat in December (and some bonus recipes, at the end of the article).
December seasonal fruits
Mandarin, persimmon, pear…
- Kiwi
- Khaki
- Grenade
- Clementine
- Orange
- Mandarin
- Apple
- Pear
Did you know ? The orange (but it is also the case of clementine and mandarin in particular) is rich in vitamin C. It provides almost 60% of the reference nutritional values (also called recommended daily dosages) in vitamin C, but it is also rich in vitamin B9. And it is very useful in the middle of winter, when we are most deficient in vitamins C and B.
December seasonal vegetables
Parsnip, leek, rutabaga, turnip…
- Carrot
- Turnip
- Brussels sprouts
- Endive
- Rutabaga
- Jerusalem artichoke
- Kale
- Pumpkin
- Cauliflower
- Salsify
- Chewed
- Celeriac
- Parsnip
- Leek
- Butternut squash
- Black radish
Did you know ? Black radish is a precious ally during the holidays. In fact, it stimulates the intestine and takes care of the liver by increasing bile secretions and their evacuation towards the intestine. Translation: Black radish helps cleanse the liver, eliminate toxins, and aid in digestion. Something that gets us back on our feet before (or after?) the holidays.
