So, I love this list. Right now the German supermarkets are full of fresh fruits from the region: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria. We've been through berries, pears, nectarines, peaches and are now into plums. I can't get enough.
This page talks about the benefits of eating seasonally. One interesting note was a study detailing how locally-grown seasonal foods often harmonize with our nutritional needs:
For example, the beta carotene in the orange pigment of pumpkins and other squash will help bolster your immune system just in time to help ward off winter colds. And the oils of nuts—fats in their purest form—will provide nutrient-rich calories that help keep you warm as the temperature drops.
This page details what to be looking for as Fall arrives, and a simple way to prepare the produce. It is print-worthy: take it to the produce section or local farmer's market and get outside of your apples, pears, tomatoes and zucchini. My tastebuds have already thanked me this Summer!
