Seasonal and simple 4.0.4

Seasonal and Simple is a comprehensive guide designed to assist in the selection, storage, and preparation of fresh fruits and vegetables commonly found in Missouri. The recipe collection promotes uncomplicated cooking techniques and seasoning choices that accentuate the natural flavors of each produce item during its peak ripeness. The diverse array of colors, tastes, and textures offered by fruits and vegetables deliver a gratifying sensory experience.

The guide categorizes fruits and vegetables based on their respective growing seasons - spring, summer, and fall. Varieties that thrive in cooler climates are featured in both the spring and fall sections. Recipes featuring a combination of fruits or vegetables exclusively utilize produce that is in season simultaneously.

Aside from detailed information and culinary suggestions for Missouri-grown produce, the guide includes a directory pinpointing local farmer's markets where consumers can access fresh goods. Opting for seasonal fruits and vegetables provides a multitude of advantages including enhanced taste, nutritional value, and affordability. Whether sourced from farmers' markets, roadside stands, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) networks, personal gardens, or local grocery stores, savor the exceptional flavors and health benefits of produce by incorporating a diverse selection into your daily diet.
