Menu for today- What's in season?

Seasonal food means basically whatever is grown and harvested during the current season. But have you ever wondered why seasonal food is said to be the best for you? This has a lot of scientific and practical reasons attached to it. Let us tell you some!

They retain more nutrients than their counterparts making them the better choice for your health. When fruits and vegetables are picked in their natural form and harvested at the right time, it will have much more flavour and nutrition. Also, seasonal food tends to fulfil your body's needs as per the weather. Example: during summer fruits like watermelon, Jamuns, chikoo are in season and they have a cooling effect on the body to counter the scorching heat. They are also low in cost because they are available in abundance which relatively makes it cheaper than the stored vegetables which are overpriced because of their less supply.
